Re-startitis

I recently finished a baby blanket.  The pattern is Lullaby Blanket and I really love how it turned out.  Please pardon the bad lighting, it was February.
Now that it is finished, I find myself wanting to Start All The Things!  Unfortunately this year is all about finishing, so I have been strong and not purchased all the pretty new yarns that have caught my eye.  I did start a new project, but I used stash yarn, so I'm going with it.

Today I went delving into the stash room and resurrected a couple of old projects.  Poinsettia has been on the needles since November 2010 according to my project page.  The other two never even got project pages, so I don't know how old they are.  Clapotis is something that I resisted for a long time because everybody was doing it.  But I picked up a skein of sock yarn with cashmere (I've long since lost the ball band) and thought it would work.  The third project is another Pretty Thing.  The first one was made of cashmere and this one is made from some of my own handspun.  Neither made it onto Ravelry, so again I have no record of the details.

I'm telling myself that it is just like starting a new project since it has been so long since I touched any of these.  And there's the added benefit that they won't take long to finish since I was quite a bit into them when I put them down.
