Your not the only one who gets into sheer panic over finishing, I usually break out in a cold sweat and think its down to that so near but so far to completion feel and all those finishing techniques books make it all look so easy when it not, but I'm sure your Ribby will look fabulous when finished and well worth all the extra care taken. I love the colours on your Wendy Cardi, it's looking super, as is the spinning.

Zips are hard, fingers crossed it goes OK. Love the spinning. I really don't like spinning with merino as I am lazy and find it too hard!(although the yarn yard stuff was nicer than others I have tried.)Queen of the froggershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13730130796826375503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449473.post-47009914782382258842008-04-21T14:48:00.000+01:002008-04-21T14:48:00.000+01:00I'm with you, all the trouble taken over finishing to make a garment perfect turns it into something you'd be proud to wear. I mean, you wouldn't buy anything with wonky seams that didn't fit right. Funny how after its all done the aggro makes it all worthwhile ;)<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you're Ribby will turn out great.RoxyKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05208144405594665967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449473.post-85355675454255800862008-04-21T08:43:00.000+01:002008-04-21T08:43:00.000+01:00Good to know that knitting fever is alive and well chez Tarty!<BR/><BR/>I'm sure the Ribby Cardi will be fabulous - I'm afraid my love of accessory knitting is borne out of my impatience and hamfistedness at finishing - thanks for the inspiration!Probably Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15327990808605512518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449473.post-78056011122618029662008-04-21T02:41:00.000+01:002008-04-21T02:41:00.000+01:00Both are awesome! <BR/><BR/>I haven't got much knitting done lately...I've out on my bike!Jennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17816505253762307430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449473.post-84693792547706583022008-04-20T21:08:00.000+01:002008-04-20T21:08:00.000+01:00The cardy sounds great and I look forward to seing the finished one. I am sure your finsidhed piece will be wonderfull you are a great crafter (I have also seen pictures of your quilts!!)<BR/>Ah spinning..mine has been put aside as well but looking at yours i may just have to get on with doing some moreSilviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11258522209760642883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449473.post-64955471795473314912008-04-20T20:57:00.000+01:002008-04-20T20:57:00.000+01:00Well that's something to think about then, I'll definitely be making mine longer when I get around to doing it. I assumed it was quite a long cardy anyway, just goes to show. As for your zip, I've seen those quilts and you're worried about inserting the zip?!!? Now come on woman, I can show you a badly inserted zip or two, then you'd never worry about your handiwork again hehe!! ;) I'm all exclamationed out now......Love the Wendy colours btw and the spinning is looking brilliant. Keep an eye on the you know what...actually has it finished yet or are you lying in wait?Woollywarblerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13544507186751911592noreply@blogger.com
