June Update

Current WIPs (new ones are bolded):

Sweaters/Cardigans:

Wispy Cardi, Malabrigo Lace
Purple Sweater (of my own design), Patons Classic Wool Merino

Shawls:

Orchid Thief, Classic Elite Yarns Alpaca Sox (hibernating - ran out of yarn four rows from the end)
Aeolian, Wollmeise

Hands and Feet:

Vanilla Socks, Schoppel-Wolle Fliegende Untertasse
Toe-up Socks, Diamond Yarn Luxury Collection Foot Loose

Blankets:

Reversible Celtic Patterns Baby Blanket

Scarves:

Tentaculum, Marks and Kattens Fame Trend (will be frogged ... when it stops hiding)
Daily Highs Temperature Scarf, leftovers - I'm only one day behind!
Lanthir Lamath, Handspun from Ireland


Well, two out of three isn't bad, if you ignore the new project (which I finished!) and the fact that the shawl isn't even 50% done.

For June, definitely the Aeolian.  For sure.  Maybe even the toe-up socks, which I've just started the heels on (Fish Lips Kiss Heel).

Or not.  I only managed to finish the socks.  I have been working on the shawl, though.  Blame it on Guild Wars 2.

For July:  Aeolian.  I have to.  Even if that's all I work on!  The other socks are close as well.  We'll see.

Plans for May:

Finish Claudia (it's for a June birthday - early June), Purl Beret, and Aeolian.  Note that even though these are the most recently cast-on projects, they're also the most likely to be worked on.  If I'm really lucky, I'd like to have Lanthir Lamath 60% completed (that is, finished the hood part).

April was not a productive month.  I got distracted by Guild Wars 2 (still am, actually) and just generally lost any knitting mojo I may have had.  Also, Tentaculum?  Hiding.  Very well.

Plans for May:

Finish Claudia (it's for a June birthday - early June), Purl Beret, and Aeolian.  Note that even though these are the most recently cast-on projects, they're also the most likely to be worked on.  If I'm really lucky, I'd like to have Lanthir Lamath 60% completed (that is, finished the hood part).

I've decided that it's time to cold-sheep.  I haven't bought (or obtained in any other way) yarn since December 29 (and even that yarn is for a gift.  In June).

Thus, every month I'm trying to finish up some WIPS and small one- or two-ball projects (because sometimes it's more encouraging to start and finish something quick, just to keep the motivation going).

My goal for March is to finish:  Praline Pullover, Abalone, and Triangle Shawl.

So I have no problems starting projects, but finishing ....

Actually, the Haruni and the Orchid Thief are in hibernation because I ran out of yarn and can't seem to find the colourways of either.  They're not discontinued, just not being sold.

Not much else to report.  Oh, I got married.  That's about it.
