I've been busy saving the world with two sticks and some string....*snicker*
I've been nibbling a bit into the unfinished project "list".
Ok.
Finished:
Ruby Reds Wingspan, blocked out. I love it. I'm looking forwards to the winter, just so I can wear it.
Stripey Lacy Baktus. I blocked it out a bit curved, and the sides are a bit spikey. Yay!
Purple Riot Hat for Prismatic Scarf. It blocked itself out perfectly. I was a bit worried, but I like it a lot. I'm only half-way through the scarf, but it'll get done. . .eventually.
Blue-Green Striped Easy Garter Stitch Fingerless Gloves. I like them, but I'm not quite sure about them. I'll only be able to tell if they're a keeper when I actually wear them outside.
Denim Blue Multnomah Shawl. It blocked out to just the size I wanted. Yahoo! I also washed and re-blocked out the original blue-green Multnomah shawl and it's looking 10 time better than it did originally.
Burgundy Robin's Egg Blue Hat. I tea-dyed and hand-coloured a wooden button and while the button doesn't look quite as cute as I wanted it to, I like the overall look of the hat. Another one that blocked out nicely.
Burgundy Moss stitch Drops Headband and Olive Green Moss Stitch Drops headband. The red one's for me, the green for Susan. It goes with -
Olive Green Mistaken Shawl (same yarn - Louisa Harding Fleuris). I hate the yarn. Not for the feel, but for the chinzy weight and foam insert. Grrr. It's a good thing that I got the yarn on deep discount, or I'd have sent it all back with a nasty letter.
Burgundy Mistaken Shawl. I'm so happy I've finally completed the replacement for the original shawl.
Wwww # 1 - It's soft inside (alpaca lining) and looks great.
My freezer is stuffed with finished items. Luckily, most of them will be "done" in 2 weeks.
But, I've now only 43 or 44 projects unfinished (including the started ones underneath). It's good.
Projects started:
A second Ditty bag in pink silk and pink cotton. The knitting's actually finished, though sewing in the ends is proving to be a bit of a nightmare. So it's in limbo for a bit (quite a bit, really).
I had to re-start my 34 leaves shawl, as a bug/beetle (not sure which, don't care, I was mad as hell when I saw it) ate a hole near the beginning that I couldn't repair. I was 2 rows away from starting the border. Grrr.
I've finally started (and am 3/4ths of the way through in about 10 days) the Holden Shawl (Holden shawlette, but I wanted it bigger the first time I saw it) - in Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn (colourway S8 - F). It's really gaudy for me, but it's SO cheerful. I love it in a queasy way. *snicker*.
Right now I'm primarily knitting again on the Maelstrom shawl (finally!), and I think in the time I left it alone it's become a black hole shawl. I'm halfway through the last repeat, and I never seem to be any closer to starting the border, no matter how many hours I knit. . . .I'm also knitting more on the hexagonal shawl (I'm actually on the border on this). It's another black hole shawl, but it's soft and pettable *snerk*.
Ok, I've got to sign off. The last night of the Proms are on.
Later.
