A LONG time ago, my first attempt at following a pattern was the Strawberry Cocoon from Bernat Free Online. And I did it!! I made a strawberry (sorry no photos) that took forever….
And in a fit of knitting success inertia, I cast on another, this time for a Blackberry! This was probably 2010 or so? Guess what I found in my craft room…
I had the leaves and most of the body done. It’s a lot of P3tog bobbly things…
So along with finishing my Spiral Rib Leg Warmers from deep in my WIP pile, this blackberry needs to be done!! Several problems:
1) no idea where I left off in the pattern
2) my tension has changed A LOT
3) this thing is knit flat and I much prefer in the round these days!
I shall persevere…providing the knitting gods are kind to me! Come heck or high water….ye shall be done!!
Have you ever found a WIP you forgot about?


Wow you are on a roll finishing up old projects. 😉
Part ambition….part OCD, lol
I recently found a WIP I forgot, a Wonder Woman inspired tunic. I just finished it!
Doesn’t it feel great?!
It does! Also, I hope you can overcome your minor hiccups with this project, because that color is too cute to frog!
Oh yes! I unearthed a cardigan that I had forgotten all about recently. In my case, I stopped short of one sleeve because I hated it. Now it’s the cat’s blanket. ;D
I knit most of a blanket for my mom and then totally forgot about sewing it together…every time I come across the pieces I feel guilty O.O
Wow, yeah… tension can change a lot over 4 years! Super-cute, although the pattern’s “bramble” stitch won’t work in the round ❤
I admit I wish most things were written in the round!!
Oh wow. The color is gorgeous. When in doubt, rip and start over:). Maybe you have another project you can use the yarn for.
