Time for a knitting roundup post, I do believe.
Completion plans for December failed to materialise into sensible outcomes. If we remind ourselves…
UFOs scheduled for completion:
- Mr plumbum’s desk mitts
- His so-called scarf
- Ingrid
- BSJ
- Rainbow Swallowtail
- Down Among The Dunes
Not necessarily in that order. Possibly concurrently. Also possibly concurrent with a new project. Or two.
ETA: Xmas.
What actually happened was:
- Mr plumbum’s desk mitts – knitted but no ends sewn in yet
- His so-called scarf – completed, gifted, and worn
- Ingrid – only a little progress made
- BSJ – no progress
- Rainbow Swallowtail – no progress
- Down Among The Dunes – no progress
- Private Comfort (Earl Grey socks) – additional one and a half knitted
- Water Socks – additional one and a half knitted
- Ren̩ (Rivolo Scarf) Рadditional completed
- Spiraluscious mitts – additional started and suspended
Redrawing the “for completion list” for (let’s say) January/February/March:
- Mr plumbum’s desk mitts to sew up
- Water Socks done 4/1/09
- Earl Grey Socks * live 4/1/09
- Ingrid
- BSJ
- Rainbow Swallowtail
- Bayret beret
- Thorfinn socks
- Warning! socks
- Down Among The Dunes
- Mingus socks
- Petra-fied handwarmers
I reckon the first five can be knocked off pretty quickly. I might even get as far as number eight in the short term. I’ll no doubt change the order as whim dictates. We’ll see.
Cast-ons envisaged:
- Mr plumbum’s sweater
- Girasole shawl
No. Really. I am allowing myself only those two until I have my WIPs under control. Once all started socks are finished I shall probably allow some concurrent sockage, as I have a stash to work through. But nothing more significant than that.
After March, I shall consider what to knit for The Show, and get stuck in to that in good time.
René is soaking, ready to be blocked today. I shall pick up the Water socks as soon as the blocking is done. I see no reason why I cannot complete both those and the Earl Grey’s by the end of the weekend.
