I foresee that April will be deemed "Finishing Month"! Can hardly wait to see the completed backpack for you...uh, I mean your mom!

Ewww . . . lining? Yuck! Hey, I'll do seaming with good will, sew in a zipper with grumbling when absolutely necessary . . . but a lining? Can't see that happening in the next several decades! I mean, they're nice and practical and all that, but . . . icky sewing! (grin)

That said, the backpack does look great . . . but I think Leslie may be onto something!

That Landscapes is some good stuff! I'm procrastinating just reading about it all :)

I know it is "just" Lion Brand, but I LOVE that landscapes. I started that backpack for my son, but I am actually going to attempt the monkey face. Another thing I have stuffed away somewhere while I think of more projects to take on....ugh!

Oh yeah, the finishing on that one is a bear. Cute idea to use a variegated yarn on it.

I always pet the Landscapes when i see it...just haven't found the right project for it!

Oh - you can put me down as Red in the February Fix-It - 2 fixed, in fact! :-)

I think finishing is the reason we all have at least one UFO tucked away under the bed. Let's face it, finishing skills are more akin to sewing then knitting and completely by-pass the whole relaxation thing. That said, it does feel great to finish a project!

That yarn is so much fun! It looks so summery. I'm seeing people start to make spring/summer items and part of me wants to drop all my winter knitting.
