Projects update. . .

Well, It's been about 12-18 months since the last one. I've written about various things I've been working on (or started) and I thought it was about time that I said what's happening to them.
Here's the list of stuff (not in any particular order) :

Fountain Pen Shawl - in limbo but not hibernating. I'm planning on working on it very soon.

Gypsy shawl - slow progress - I'm on the edging, which has 30 stitches per row, so I can spend 15 minutes on it and achieve progress.

SotS II shawl. Hibernating. Bah.

Brown Mohair scarf. - slow progress. It sits next to me along with a few other projects that are listed, so I work on it, albeit a couple rows at a time. Nice yarn. I'm glad I'm not sensitive to mohair.

Cotton phone socks (one for me, one for My Dad)- They're done and in the process of being sewn up. Since I'm not in a hurry, I expect they'll be in use in a couple weeks. ok, a few days. *he he*

Kimono cardigan - Hibernating. I ran out of the mulberry silk yarn (discontinued) at the very end, so I'm having to order some bleached mulberry silk top in order to spin about 10grams of heavy 4-ply yarn to fill in the last 10" of collar/edging. Then I can sew it all up and wear it. *sigh*

SotS I shawl - finished, finished, finished. I gave it to my best friend as a LATE christmas present. she loves it.

"Tickled pink" not pink scarf - Hibernating. I'm thinking that this might be frogged. I'm just not loving this or even liking this anymore. The way I'm knitting it is making it look blah. I'll see in a couple weeks.

Knitted shopping bags - Still in hibernation. Why I can't finish sewing up the first one is beyond me. Maybe I'm not convinced it'll be strong enough to use. The second one just isn't calling to me. I think it's getting time to call it quits and frog it. Shame on me.

Brown prayer shawl - I finished that long ago. I'm using it now. Lovely and warm.

Flickering Flames Skirt - in hibernation. It's obviously not important enough to work on. *sigh*.

Debbie Bliss Sweater. - Hibernating. It's in a box in the living room, and I see it every day. I've not forgotten about it. Bad sweater - ok, bad yarn choice. Shame on me.

Knitted kitties and various cat toys - in hibernation. I just don't want to do anything with them. Someday I'll want to, but I don't want to now. It's a shame as the only thing I have to do with the cat toys is sew them and fill them with catnip. What-ever.

Pink Fur hat - to be frogged. I don't remember where I was in the pattern when I last put it down and I just can't see the stitches through the "fur". It's time is done. Oh well.

Mitred vest - hibernating. I need to get some colour matching and blending for future squares happening, but I've started too many new projects. Bah.

Cotton Squares Blanket - Hibernating. Definitely hibernating. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of crocheting I'm going to have to do. Brain hurts. . .*grin*

Black silk wrap/stole - hibernating. Darn. I should have this finshed by now, darn it. *grr*

Cotton chenelle prayer shawl - definitely hibernating through no fault of my own. I need some dye stuffs from a company in the states (Dharma), and resources are SLOW. Bah.

Wall hanging - well, this hasn't even gotten started, so it's a fermenting kit right now.

Diagonal feather and fan blanket - new project, in limbo for a bit. It's just something to use up a giant ball of acrylic yarn (400g), so I'm in no hurry. I'm almost halfway, though, and it's pretty. Strange, but pretty.

Kitchen Curtain - It's slow but steady. Like the Gypsy shawl, it's only got short rows to work on, so I nibble on it every week. I suppose it's glamour will fade soon. Bah.

New scarf - It's a self designed project using up three balls of a luxury yarn (forgotten the name). I'm nibbling on it enough that I'm on the last quarter. Yahoo. I will definitely have to block out this piece before I complete the sewing. . . I'm not looking forwards to that.

All projects being worked on have to fight with the miniature "tapestry" rug I'm enamoured with working on. Not a problem, really. Ha.

I hope this was enough information.
Later
