Getting There

This is more for my own accounting purposes than anything else (also, it makes me feel better when I see the list getting shorter). Here is what is left:

1. Ab-Fab Afghan
2. Dr. Who Scarf
3. Arabella — ~75% Finished
4. Flamin' Fingerless gloves
5. Socks that Wanted to Be Mittens Instead
6. Amelia Cardigan
7. Sooper Sekrit Surprise Projeck
8. Checkerboard Twist Socks — 50% Finished
9. Watergarden Cardigan

I will also be frogging:

1. BSJ (Baby Surprise Jacket, not Bloody Stupid Johnson)

So, I'm down to nine projects on needles, one of which is nearly finished (Arabella) and another is a pair of socks (and March is for Making Mates).

This, from 25 on January 31. Go me!

A note on socks: I'm thinking that I am going to embrace "March is for Making Mates" and get my Checkerboard Twist Socks and the "Socks That Would be Mittens" finished up. That will leave me whatever part of March is left (if any) plus all of April to finish up my Self Imposed Sock Club socs for Mar-Apr. As of right now I'm thinking not to cast them on until I'm done with Making Mates...but I'm fickle, so we'll see. The heady rush of "it is no longer February and I am free to cast on!!!" might overcome me. It's hard to say.

Well. I feel better.

February is Finishing Me

I have made a fair bit of progress on the finishing front, but it doesn't feel like I have.

I have completed the Checkerboard Twist sock that I had on needles (the mate is to wait for March), and I have very nearly decided to frog the Raspberry Sorbet socks (I kind of thing that they should die in a fire. This is why I think I might frog them.)


Arabella is coming along very nicely. I'm in the last repeat of the main lace section, and then it is just the edging to do.


See? That's progress.

I'm just... SIGH. Over it. Over all of it. I want to cast on new socks, and a scarf that I'm designing in my head, and two or three hats and...

I am going to be vicious in my project culling before all is said and done. I think it is finally time to face the fact that I just don't actually WANT to knit all this stuff. I have ennui. ENNNNNUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

I should come back with pictures of great piles of yarn from all of the stuff I've frogged.
