Woo Hoo!

Checkers is done!

However, I must be the anti-Wendy, because I've been working on it since November...

...of 2001.

I admit, in the intervening time I did knit my first Fair Isle sweater, completed two afghans and lots of socks (all gifts), and got 2/3 of the way through a Philosopher's Wool cardigan [there was also that pesky doctoral defense]; but I really am determined to be a bit more resolute in my knitting. Having so many open projects is stressful, and I do not knit to add to the stress in my life. This is going to be hard for me because I love the promise and excitement of starting a new project. Even now, I have the yarn for for two tempting new sweaters staring me in the face. But, I...will...be...strong.

Maybe you can help me out. Right now I have two sweaters in the works?Cables & Lace and Kilim (the Philosopher's Wool). Which do you think I should finish next?

Here's the progress on Kilim. The body is worked in the round so I'm almost ready to start the steeks for the arm holes. [I had a picture of Cables & Lace a few days ago].
