I love making these in sock yarn. The colors are always fun.

Finishing

I made a series of zill covers last weekend. Eight in all. So, not a lot of knitting (each one takes me about 30 minutes to knit), but some amount of finishing (about 5 minutes of finishing work).

Teeny-tiny projects make me focus a little more on the finishing. After all, there are only 17 rows in the whole project, so how those ends are darned matters more than usual.

Of course, I ignored all of the finishing until the very end. So, I did a little stack of finishing all at once.

It put me in mind of one of my favorite technique books, The Knitter's Book of Finishing Techniques. It removed my fear of seaming. Now I only hate seaming, but I do not hate AND fear it.
