I have been casting on more projects than one person should be allowed to handle! I will do a list (who doesn’t love a list!) but first let’s talk about what has been accomplished!

I finished a yummy shrug out of handpaintedyarn in paris nights merino bulky wool. LOVE IT! Most useful piece of clothing for the springtime.

A pair of socks using self patterning sock yarn. Pretty pinks & reds, love them!

Random drop stitch scarves using scrap yarn from other projects.

Okay now for the list of needle whording projects:

*sweater from spring interweave knits

*Bella sweater from it’s a tape thing, Rowan using handpaintedyarn in bulky wool turquoise

*3 pair of socks

* woven stitch 400stitch scarf (from Knitty Gritty, don’t laugh!)

*aran sweater for my mom (starting Christmas early this year!)

*felted bag

*random hats, crochet & knit

*herringbone poncho

*and of course the never-gonna-be-done-dammit-I-have-no-desire-to-finish-it Absolutely Fabulous Throw

That is all off the top of my head at 10:30pm. And for not being at home that isn’t bad!

Good night!

This was once going to be a baby blanket but the yarn was discontinued & I wasn’t able to get enough beforehand. So now it is a lovely shrug & I am rather happy that I put it to use instead of frogging the entire thing!

Oh there is more to come I just didn’t have time to get it all downloaded. So I finished the aran sweater! Woohoo! I wore it to knitting on Monday night. Unfortunately I didn’t get there until 10 to 9 and only Summers and Jayme were there that late.

I am pleased with how it turned out and can’t wait to get a decent picture posted.

I started a sweater out of the new vogue knitting, the back is complete and I am working on the front/hood and the sleeves to keep myself interested. I am using some of my last hand painted yarn from Uruguay. Dusty colored merino 3-ply sock weight (it’s actually worsted weight but the co. calls it sock weight). Such a dream to knit with and I can’t wait to have the sweater to wear!

I finished a shrug/shoulder warmer out of Classic Elite Provence in a loden green with cables running laterally. I will post a picture this weekend sometime. I made my friend Tammy who lives in Santa Cruz a drop stitch scarf of a different style out of ecological wool in the coolest lime green color from Craft Essentials.

Needless to say there are more pictures to come!
