Now, just because I started a few new projects does not necessarily mean that I have abandoned the other work in progress. I have never been accused of being a monogamous knitter/crocheter, after all.
So here’s an update on the other projects:
Husband’s striped knee high socks. Or more affectionately known as the neverending socks of doom. He asks regularly how they are coming along. Very slooooooooowly. Though farther along than the last time you saw them.
I don’t even think I’ve made it to his arch yet. These are 6 row stripes and I think the proportions are pretty darn good there. But I’m being stubborn about not weaving in ends, so yes I’m carrying that yarn right up to the next stripe (tucking every so often of course – can’t let him catch a toe on a wayward string). You’ll be so busy looking at the stripes, I doubt you’ll even notice.
I’m also working on a fairytale cape for my niece’s fifth birthday next month. She’s very much into princesses and playing dress-up. So this one is ruby red and lacy and will (hopefully) have a white furry trim.
The body and basics of the hood are finished. I just need to seam up the hood and add the white trim. After I’ve acquired the white trim – it seems that my stash is devoid of anything stark white or furry. Personally I think that’s a good thing, but it means a trip to the store is in order.
And then there’s a stealth project for Mother’s Day. No, you can’t see it. That would defeat the purpose of being stealthy.
Add these to the two I cast on during the bout of startitis, and I’ve got five projects going. I think I should finish something so I can continue to start new things. Wouldn’t you agree?
