Final Knitted Project of the year

I find the execution of the final details of a knitted object the least interesting part of the process. Weaving in loose ends. Stitching seams beautifully. Although my dear aunt taught me that the underside of a piece of needlework should be as perfect-looking as the side intended for show, my personal history of finished — or should I say, unfinished — projects reveals a crafter of less than stellar performance. I’ve been known to lose interest once the excitement of mastering a stitch or pattern has passed, and allowing the almost-completed item to languish in a basket. So, if there’s a single crafty accomplishment of the past year that I might declare upon reflection of the past year, it is a newly developed acceptance of the more tedious tasks. At least it leaves the baskets available for my yarn stash!
