the slog continues

I am overdue for a post but am, as usual, drowning in a swamp of unfinished projects. I still find myself reluctant to use the usual acronym for unfinished objects for fear that I will come up on Roswell-type Googles. I do have my hang-ups.

Anyway.

For the sake of something to say, I present forthwith my list of current projects.

1. The second purple lacy sock. I started the heel flap at the dentist's office this morning while my kids were getting poked and scraped. No one, but no one, admired my beautiful knitting. Sigh.

2. The ripply crochet blanket for charity. This one started out to be a baby blanket but it turned out to be too big. Fortuitously at the charity group meeting this month they announced that a local hospital was in need of larger blankets for their dialysis unit. I'm not using a pattern so I'm just crocheting until it assumes a sort-of normalish blankety shape. I think it's nearing completion.

3. and 4. In the wings: the lacy scarf and shawl. I haven't worked on them for a while but they're still on the radar.

Oh! News! I got my sock of the month from Red Bird Knits this week. It's a mosaic pattern using Jo Sharp DK tweed. I can't wait to get going on it. But I will wait. Yes, I will.
