it's time to do the WIPs count. you can thank the yarn harlot for this most recent case of "finishitupitis".
first there's my FLS:
i am nearly finished with the garter yoke, and i made 3 buttonholes EZ style. i have another inch or so of garter before i can start the lace portion of the sweater.
then there's what i call "ally's christmas mittens":
knit with alpaca yarn from kraemer yarns (the label says kraemers spun it, but the label was from the farm show 3 years ago), i'm trying to replicate ally mcbeal's white fluffy mittens, and then i'll embroider red and green flowers on the back of them.
i know, i'm sick. so so mitten sick.
then there's my leftover 2nd socks:
i should finish these socks for the february portion of PSOTMC11, but i really want to knit with this:
this was the yarn i pulled specifically for my february socks. it is jitterbug by colinette. i tried to knit a pair of magic loop toe up socks with it years ago, but somehow got a mental block about it. i so want to use it up, and overcome that damn block. it wasn't even listed in my yarn stash on ravelry, it was buried so deep.
i have a couple patterns to choose from, for my february socks. i originally picked the sweetheart socks pattern from simply knitting. then i found a lace cuff sock from this month's issue of simply knitting (no linky, it's not even on ravelry yet!). then there's these adorable lovesocks, but i don't have the yarn to do this pattern. maybe i can do them for february next year?
these are mitten dreams.
this bag o' yarn is full of baby knitting. there is a sock monkey, a baby hat made with jelli beenz, a zipped up the back hoodie knitted in knit picks swish worsted, and a baby blanket that will use up leftover cotton ease. the question is, what kind of baby blanket? i can make a log cabin like the kiddos' blankets, or then i found this adorable swatch block blanket. i don't think i'll make a poppin blanket. i think the cotton ease will be easier to care for.
of course my yoga shawl, dad's scarf, and the swirl shawl simmer on the bottom of my basket. *sigh*. too many WIPs, not enough time.
