son of a week of finishing dangerously

Some of you may remember the first week of finishing dangerously, back in September of 2007, when I finished a knitted item a day for one week.

Today, I begin my second attempt at finishing 7 objects in a week - this time all for ReVIB.  I've got the following projects to complete:

1.  double-breasted jacket (don't ask me what compelled me to make a double-breasted jacket for a baby - blame Debbie Bliss)

2.  shawl-collared tunic

3.  baby baby (hoodie)

4.  crossover top (Debbie Bliss strikes again)

5.  fair isle tassel hat

6.  bobbled topper

7.  bobbled bloomer

Ok - that's the pledge, to have all of these done by next Friday.  Ready, set, seam!

---------------------------

I've got no pics of the Yarn Harlot last night, although my girls I am sure will be posting plenty.  She was funny, as is to be expected.  Must be an odd life, flying into a city, telling jokes, signing books, getting a few hours of shuteye, and then flying out again.

I managed to do some theta brain wave knitting (she was all about the brain waves last night), a square of the circles and stripes blanket.

I am loving this blanket because, even though it took me from 1pm to about 10pm to make one stupid stockinette 15"x15" square, the blanket only calls for four of them - so this is almost a quarter of the blanket done!  And it was the perfect mindless knitting for hanging out with friends and listening to the Harlot.

Alright - time to get to work.  Will post pics of at least one FO tomorrow.

Good luck with all the finishing! That's a lot of baby knits.

So, were the Debbie Bliss items selected at the same time as bobblefest? ;)

Yay for the week of finishing dangerously!

Good luck with the finishing. I'm still in awe of how many of the baby knits you are whipping out for the ReVIB.

Do you have a list of all your ReVIB projects? Bobbles aside, you have chosen some great stuff. The blanket sounds like just the thing to work on while caring for an infant, no shaping or difficult stitches. Oh, and a whole week of finishing sounds awful, although I really ought to take your lead and do the same. I tend to take months to do the finishing.
