Tick tick

I joined Clean Slate by 2008 on Ravelry a while back. Since then I've managed to knock most of the Christmas knitting off my list, but I may be out of luck finishing a couple of the miscellaneous projects:

Finished (hooray!):

Anemoi Mittens (but I forgot to photograph the FO on their own so here's a WIP picture and a photo of them being modelled by the recipient).

You're close. I feel like lace doesn't count for the Clean Slate :)

It was awesome seeing you and your MIL accompanied by Hydrangea, Conway, and Embossed Leaves. Can't wait to see the rest of those pretty FOs!

When was Clean Slate 2008 conceived? I feel as though I only heard about it in the last two or three weeks, which doesn't seem like nearly enough time for most people. You do seem to have made pretty impressive progress, though. The FOs look great! I particularly love the Swing Thing and the Anemoi Mittens. The slight variegation in the blue on them (the mittens) is particularly nice.

Good for you! You're tearing through your UFOs. Pacific Northwest is going to be amazing.

Maybe your cats are out modeling while you and your husband are working??
