They act as a wee taster to the finished projects while not giving too much away (which, I must admit, I find as frustrating as the rest of you.) I find my (initially) unintentional inclusion of the tools of my trade a nice insight into the entire process of making (plus I just love the look and feel of my specially selected, beautiful tools.) They show a snippet of the pattern, project and object's life that is rarely seen by anyone but me - the "wrong" side, the inside, that unglamourous point in the proceedings when there are tangly bits of yarn exploding out in every which way. You know - all the messy stuff that I eliminate before I show you the thing and say "I made a thing! Here, look at the thing!"
So until I can show you the finished things, these will have to suffice. Again, my apologies - I am not very good at patience myself.
If you'd like some instant gratification, though, I think I may be able to help you out with that - I'm currently offering the pattern for my SpillyMitts for FREE.

I completely understand about the patience thing - I've in the same 4-I-can't-talk-about boat.
It's a good boat to be in, impatience notwithstanding. :)
Thank you so much! I grabbed them!
And clearly I need more coffee this am - that should be I'm, of course. Gah!
thank you! I love them.
Very nice photography!! It has got to be torture not sharing you WIPs.
Lovely pattern! Very tempting. Particularly since I am wearing fingerless mittens right now but still seem to need more.
The mitts are beautiful. I snagged them also. Should be a beautiful treat for someone this Christmas with my handspun yarn.

Only 3 I can't talk about at this moment, but it is maddening! Thanks for the freebie. I reposted it to my Twitter and FB!
I love including the tools, I think the tools are a very important element of all making processes, adding something.
I have a bone sewing needle for my next project, because it's old and the project is about ancient traditions... do I spy scissors with a bird on them in your sekrit project shots?
OH I have those same tiny scissors! They make weaving ends and trimming fabric so much more fun because they are storks. I enjoy the simple things.
