Several items finished

Determined to get things sorted before starting more big projects. Museum handwarmers not counted they are always ongoing, as is the sock yarn blanket, although blanket #3 is probably ready for finishing off now if I have enough grey yarn for the top border. First, that entrelac shawl. Made a few flower brooches from the yarn remains. Second, Handspun mittens to old pattern found in Juskavarkki church. As usual, my handspun has stretched after washing. https://www.ravelry.com/projects/MarytheKnit/jukkasjarvi-church-mittens-variation Third, some allegedly cashmere yarn made into gloves for Keith. Sort of tweedy with bits, two strands necessary, and broke easily under strain, so I don't think they will last long. Water very dark on washing, some is machine oil The original firm they came from sells their men's gloves at £39! Have abandoned the yellow crochet socks, which had not got very far anyway. Crochet sunflower curtain for kitchen will be ongoing for a very long time.
