I think the Finish or Frog It idea is a great one. Every Friday I have had a project for Finish or Frog It on my needles and a blog post to go with it in my head. I have to say, I am pretty committed to my poor languishing projects so there might not be a lot of frogging, hopefully a lot of finishing.
Here's one. As Superbowl 2009 approached I thought back to Superbowl 2008 and remembered that I had been knitting on socks that I cast on in the fall of 2007. I didn't blog or ravel them at the start, so I have no evidence, you'll have to trust me. I did post about them over the winter, along with raves about Kim's yarn of course. There is proof of that. Twice. Anyway, Superbowl 2009 in the wings, I decide to pull out these socks and finish the second sock while watching the game, I even took a photo and intended to post a Finish or Frog it post. See?
A lot of undocumented knitting has been going on around here, during which I decided I really needed a new pair of socks. Okay, need is not exactly a physical need, but maybe an emotional one, but the bottom line is this: FINISHED!
Yarn: Woolen Rabbit Sock yarn in Lady Sings the Blues. This blend is no longer available, but the color is!
Needles: size 0
Cast On: November 2007
Bound Off: February 2009
Thirty-two. Let the finished object parade begin!
They are beautiful! I made a pair of those a while ago and now, after seeing yours, I want to make another pair.

Undocumented knitting...that just strikes me as funny. If a knitter knits something but doesn't blog it, does it really exist???

Very pretty! I have the same problem with leftover yarn...

Must have that color. I'll bet you have a ton of projects to "unveil".

Good lookin' socks!
I love this idea. What a great way to get things done and have fodder. The best of both worlds!

Pretty! I always think the same thing about running out and always have extra sock yarn.

Ooh, pretty! And truly, knitting is the best use of Super Bowl time.

Beautiful socks!

I do that lack of documentation with my spinning. You would think our blogs ruled our lives. Of COURSE not. *slinks away*
