August Update

Current WIPs (new ones are bolded):

Sweaters/Cardigans:

Rosemary Cardigan, Cascade 220 Heather
Hooded Baby Skyrim Sweater, Patons Roving
Newborn Vertebrae, Wollmeise "Pure" 100% Merino Superwash
Quivira Coat, Patons Classic Merino Wool

Easy Top-down Raglan, Noro Kureyon and Patons North America Ballybrae

Shawls:

Orchid Thief, Classic Elite Yarns Alpaca Sox (hibernating - ran out of yarn four rows from the end)
Aeolian, Madame Tricote Paris Star
Dancing Bees MKAL, Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace

Hands and Feet:

Toe-up Socks, Zauberball (on a 9-inch circular)
2aat Toe-up Socks, Lorna's Laces
Cuff-down Vanilla Socks, Patons Kroy Sock Yarn

Blankets:

Snowflake Blanket, Red Heart Comfort Solids

Scarves:

Tentaculum, Marks and Kattens Fame Trend (will be frogged ... when it stops hiding)

Lanthir Lamath, Handspun from Ireland (re-started on a smaller needle ... here's hoping)

Other:

Parlour Cat, Caron Simply Soft

Success!  I finished the hood section and much more (but still ran out of yarn).  I've got about 2 feet left to knit, and I'm really hoping the yarn I bought yesterday will mostly match.


August Goals:  Finish Parlour Cat, Aeolian (I knit this one at work), and get a new needle for Easy Top-down Raglan (mine broke at the cable - that's what I get for buying cheap Wal-Mart needles).
 
Well, Aeolian is complete, and a new needle purchased.  The cat got put to the wayside and I worked on the Newborn Vertebrae instead.

September Goals:  Finish Newborn Vertebrae and Clue 3 of the MKAL (yeah, I fell behind).

July Goals:  Finish the hood section of the Lanthir Lamath scarf.  I've just started the hood section, so I think I can do this if I work on it and nothing else.

Success!  I finished the hood section and much more (but still ran out of yarn).  I've got about 2 feet left to knit, and I'm really hoping the yarn I bought yesterday will mostly match.
