Photos have been edited in.

Well, I was going to edit in my photos, but my digital camera seems to have gone belly-up, so I'm going to post this anyway. Maybe pictures to come. Who knows.

Edit 9-17: woop! Got 'em. :)

Finished:
I actually forgot something in my giant update a while back. I also made a super nifty multidirectional scarf out of three balls of Diakeito Diamusee! I ran out of yarn three stitches from the end, so I spit-spliced in a little bit of Kureyon to get me through the end. It’s a little lump, but not enough to make a difference post-blocking.




The next pair of socks: All done! These are definitely fraternal twins, but I love them anyway. Those damn tweedy Trekking 100 colors are going to be the death of me. I have at least two more (maybe three) lurking in my stash.



Requiring Finishing:
Baby Kimono: Done and blocking happily on the floor by my computer. I'm currently trying to make the matching bootees out of the scraps. So far, so good--one is done, we'll see if I have enough for two.

Silk Garden Cardigan: It was too hot. Then it got hotter. Still needing buttons.

On the Needles:
Party-Time Apron: No change.

Squid's Boundary Waters Sweater: Pulled this back out just today to put it back in active rotation. It's only three inches long, but it will grow.

Schaeffer Anne Victorian Baby Sweater: Finished the body in the car during our trip to and from Madison, WI for the DCI Division I championships. Now, I just need to seam in the sleeves, make some ties, and weave in the ends. All the fun parts. :P I'm a little concerned that my sleeves are off in their gauge--they were knit in the round vs the flat body--and I'm going to have to do some creative easing to make them fit. Ah well. They were quick, if I have to reknit 'em.

Yet another pair of sox: Yep. That impetuousness means they’re just about two rows longer than where they were a few weeks ago. Soon, my darling sockies, soon.

Well, it’s a START . . .

Hey, it hasn’t been a month or more since I last updated! Will wonders never cease. What have I been up to?

Finished:
Huh. I actually haven’t finished anything. Go fig.

Requiring Finishing:
Baby Kimono: No change. I’ve been on the road so many weekends that I haven’t had the chance to go to Community Knitting. *sniff*

Silk Garden Cardigan: It was too hot. Then it got hotter. Still needing buttons.

On the Needles:
Party-Time Apron: No change.

Squid's Boundary Waters Sweater: No change. Too hot. Blurgh.

The next pair of socks: Thanks to an unplanned seven-hour stay at Chicago O’Hare, the second Trekking 100 sock got an entire foot, heel turning, and up to the cuff in one loooong day. I’ve put about an inch of ribbing on the cuff, but have been instead distracted by . . .

Schaeffer Anne Victorian Baby Sweater: Dang, this thing’s fun to knit. Both sleeves are complete, I’ve completed the lace part of the body, and am working up the back. Hand-dyed yarn was nearly my undoing for this one—the Lucy Neatby Celestial Merino is a very hand-painted handpaint—no two all that much alike, blahblahblah, and I thought I was in trouble when I swifted up the second skein that looked so darn close in the hank. The balls don’t look at all alike, but when knit up, they blend OK. *whew*.

Yet another pair of sox: These will be in the “Chevron” pattern from Charlene Schurch’s Sensational Knitted Socks. Oh, how I love that book. Sock #1 is . . . . about 10 rows long. I just felt like casting on something new. So impetuous, I am. I’m knitting these in a cotton-wool-poly blend from OnLine. I can tell there’s cotton in the yarn, and I’m wondering if I’m really going to like it—it’s a lot stiffer than my usual super-floppy Trekking.

In the hoop:
*whistles innocently* I have, however, gotten all the bookkeeping done for my needlework guild. So there.
