Drive-by Progress Report

The house shaking project is slow going, but there has been a bit work on the knitting front. At least enough to fool myself into thinking there is a need for a progress report:

2) Offspring # 2’s Blue Sky Alpacas’ Hooded Pullover in Dyed Cotton (the one that was supposed to be for Christmas). Second sleeve is at the cap shaping.
3) Jumbo cat blanket (aka an afghan for the living room, but I might as well be honest about it’s eventual fate). Finished off another ball of yarn here, so maybe a couple of inches done.
4) KP&S’s Weekend Neck Down Jacket in Blue Sky Alpacas’ bulky. This has been loaded into a knitting bag, and then taken back out. Nothing more's happened though.
5) All the little kid items (charity knitting) that have been languishing about. I’m counting this as one item even though there are, oh, 2 vests, 3 cardi’s, 2 pullovers and a baby sweater in the bunch . Mostly because they all just need a little bit of finishing work. Nada.
6) At least 2 pairs of socks of the ½ dozen or so on the needles. At the gusset for the second sock of the second pair.
7) The Blue Sky Alpacas’ Eyelet Cardigan in Dyed Cotton (it just needs finishing work). Nothing, which is just so dumb, it wouldn't take that much time to finish!
8) 2 new items for charity (deadline of Feb. 8th for charity knit night @ Make One Yarn Studio). Done.
9) My version of Mr. Greenjeans in Dream in Color’s Cocoakiss. Zip.
10) KP&S’s Neckdown Wrap Cardigan in Malabrigo (same pattern as the one in the previous post). Body done, working on the first sleeve.
11) Blue Sky Alpacas’ Scoop Neck Vest in Classic Elite’s Renaissance. Zero progress.
12) Fleece Artist’s Lady of the Lake in Curlylocks and Fleece Artist Aran Yarn. Took this one out of the bag the other day and realized that in one of my cleaning fits (they do happen, just not often) I'd put the needles away. Arrrggh. One day, when I have a bit of time (and patience) I'll sort that out.


And with that, I'll leave you with a picture of the yarn that fell into my bag after Tuesday's Knit Nite:

Curious Creek's Wasonga in Glacier Lakes.

Liza {who says, we won't mention that the project for this yarn has already been cast on~shhhhh!}
