Remembered last night: there's a suit on the same chair that needs finishing too. So, so far: Shawl Suit Tax return

Count me in, I have at the moment: - one and a half socks needing the other half-sock knitted. - 17 quilt blocks needing attention to become a lovely throw (preferably before 17th September which is when my patchwork and quilting class starts again, must have something to show the tutor!) - a great many unfinished gardening projects

My house and garden ARE my UFO's and it's going to take years..... If they are ever truly "finished"

For a change I only need to fill the tax return in, everything is ready for it.

I have to finish the crocheted hobby horse and the knitted mei tei (for dolls). Aside from a small knitted doll that I'm going to pop on etsy to see if she sells I'm not doing too badly for UFOs (erm, aside from the house and garden...)

Oh and the felted sun - it's crocheted and ready to go in the next towel wash to felt.

I do have plans to make a little cowboy shirt for my youngest son's doll and really I have to start stuff for Yule otherwise I'll never get anything finished!

Soapnutter has set a challenge to make some scarves (as she makes a donation to a women's refuge every year) so I'll be making a couple of scarves for her too (but that shouldn't take long).

Do you have more info on the challenge? I have a scarf almost finished that has no home, so would like to donate it.

Im in........ I know it half way through Curtains to finish for my mum, 2 pairs plus one. My front door curtain ready for winter. Roman blind to match eyelet curtains in bedroom. And I have now started my nursing chair, it is stripped and looks very daunting now it is just a wooden frame. Pea

Me too. I'll have to get down to some stuff next week.

In my defence I can only say I've done a pair of socks, a pram blanket and started a lace scarf, as well as being poorly and doing some pig stuff.

Hmm, "finish" something in September. Where do I start? Let's see:- a. various DIY projects in the bathroom; b. the building site AKA "the dining room"; c. the derelict mess AKA "the kitchen garden". And let's not even mention endless, endless work projects. A.

I have a pair of socks, wool from Sally, that haven't had much attention recently.
There is also my accounts to get to the accountant.

I have done the accounts! Yay.

This years to catch up now, and the VAT.

Also finished a scarf, and started another. Done various badge sewing duties.

Not too bad then.
