finish my current knitting projects

So I finished my boy’s orange sweater with the cabled ‘robot’ or ‘monster’ on the front. It took me so long it was a bit small, but still wearable.

Yesterday morning, when I suggested that he wear it. He said that he’d wear it at home, but not out in public. He’s five. Sigh.

I finished my sister’s scarf before she arrived in town. It’s really pretty. It was a seafoam pattern using silky sock yarn. It’s various shades of dark blues and purples with moments of golden yellow running throught it. Lovely.

I don’t think it’s really my fault that I started something new. Noro came out with Silkgarde sock yarn which arrived at my store the last week before going to the lake. Not my fault at all. I’m knitting on 2’s so it will go really fast. Not my fault in the slightest.

New projects started – 1

Monday we were comparing lists of UFO’s at the yarn store (Unfinished projects). I was in the middle at 8, but two people had about 35!!! One co-worker had only 2 and we threw various implements at her.

Noro Socks (one to do)
Monster Sweater for the boy (just needs seaming)
Red cabled jacket for the boy (lots and lots)
Purple Hempathy cardigan for me (lots and lots)
Cabled Grey Malibrigo cardigan for me (lots and lots)
Rainbow child’s cardigan (one sleeve and millions of ends)
Felted Noro bag (needs handles attached)
Seafoam scarf for sister (blocking and fringe)

finished mike’s socks in cape hatteras

I’ve finished very few sweaters I’ve started knitting, currently working on a long cardigan in the most beautiful pure wool and determined to finish it in time to wear it this winter. So far only the back and half the left front completed. :(

I finished the Dalek and gave it to my friend for xmas.

If they are depending on their aunt to finish their sweaters, that is. I have 2 sweaters and a dress nearly completed, but my nieces seem to grow faster than I can knit. My goal is to finish them in time for niece #3’s first birthday – December 20th.

Might stop soon and wear my cotton raspberry colored yarn knitted triangle as a headscarf but it might also look good as a neck scarf/ascot. Either way I will finish it soon; I’m in the zone right now.
Two more projects after headscarf is finished: a ridiculously wide wool/silk scarf that is turning out quite lovely but taking forever to finish (formerly this yarn was destined for a sweater but I have axed that project) and a pair of denim yarn shrink to fit jeans for my baby which is due in September.
