I am a starter

There's no doubt about it. The problem is, I never finish anything. I recently gave up on at least 3 projects. Vik scarves for the homeless are waiting for me, half started. The pink mohair shawl is somewhere in a bag, the brea bag is almost finished, almost, and what about the polar blanket? Still waiting for the winter to come.

And what do I do? Of course I've just started a new project!! I guess I have to definitely face the fact that I am a flighty starter and knit alongs simply aren't good for me (or, better to say, I am not good for them).

Anyway, this is the lovely new project I've embraced yesterday, the Chanson Capelet. Isn't it sweet? I'm making it in black cotton and instead of working it as a little cape, I'm doing closed rounds, so that in the end I'll have a short poncho. If I manage to finish it.

But this time the pattern goes on pretty fast and I'm confident that I can make it. I'll keep you posted :-)

That is very cute! I can't wait to see your finished one. I just finished a little *coperta per la pancia* for my husband. I am starting easy. hehe Did you see the crochet boobies I made for my friend getting a double masectomy? I was proud of how they turned out. :OD
Ciao!

I can understand: That capelet is irresistible!
You still have time for the KFH scarves, Justine, it´s not cold there yet, isn´t it?
