Despite my many projects, I still want to cast on more things.

I just bought this pattern (Foolproof) yesterday, and I’ve been wracking my brains to think of I have some suitable yarn for it. I need another project just now like I need a proverbial hole in my head, but it’s so fun to think of knitting new things! And since I knit so much faster in my head, I could get it all done before term starts up again!

Coming back to reality… First, a few finished items. My Ned hat,

and second my gingham dishcloth. Not a pattern I’d do that often, but a nice little side trip.

I’m still working on my peacock shawl, and I’m sating my cloche craze by doing Sprig. Now that I’m in the ‘brainless’ part, it will make good Great Course knitting. I’m loving how it’s turning out; here’s hoping that it looks as cute on me as I think it will! This is just the brim before stitches were picked up.

I had made really good progress on my Weeping Angel socks, but then I realized that the gauge was off, so frogged they were. *sigh* The worst part was that when I looked back at my notes from the first time I made these, I had made the exact same gauge mistake. So what’s the point of taking notes if you don’t go back and read them…

Finally, to give my hand a break from all that knitting, I’ve pulled out my four seasons wreath cross stitch and been working on that again. Nothing like huge project!

Parting shot: Hieroglyphs are a lot of fun to play with!
