Serendipi-done

FO! FO!
Finally!
Serendipity socks are finished! (And before I received the next Rockin' Sock Club kit!) That means I get to check one off on my Mission Possible 2008 list!

Pattern: Serendipity (BMFA Rockin' Sock Club 2008)
Yarn: BMFA Socks that Rock
Colorway: Dragon Tail
Now gifted to my eldest DD for her birthday (next week)! She's turning *gasp* 21!

Much knitting is being done, but not much is being finished. The projects I have going are almost all long-term, which is incredibly frustrating. I'm trying to resist casting on anything little (like socks) until my March/April Sock Club kit gets here! I have a pair of socks on the needles, specifically for a sock class that I'm holding for our fiber group. But I can't finish them, or I won't have anything to teach the toe decreases and Kitchener stitch with!

Pattern: International Socks of Doom
Designer: Julie Gardener
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK

I knit these before, in Knit Picks "Elegance", for the first edition of "Sock Wars". They are a lovely, easy pattern. Perfect for newbie sock knitters, I think. Plus, my blue ones in Rowan "Wool-Cotton" are wearing rather thin! Time for a new pair!

Progress has been made on the Feather and Fan Shawl as well! I'm up to about 888 sts per round now, so each round takes a huge whack of time! If I get three rounds done, I've used up about all of my knitting time for one day! Needless to say, this one may take a while. I'm nothing if not an instant gratification junkie! Still, the Malabrigo laceweight is absolutely heavenly!

And finally, there is the Kauni Cardi! She's been resting for a month or two, since doing the collar/front band. So I picked her up and started the sleeves.

So, I've got all of these projects going. I'm knitting every day. Spinning when I can. And all I can think of is casting on some fabulous new project with this:

Do YOU see a problem here?

That cardigan is stunning! Not that the rest of your knitting isn't lovely, but I'm wowed by the colourwork and steeking. Very impressive. I'm so anti-steeking that I've taught myself to knit backwards so I can do all my fairisle work on the right side without having to steek. Absurd, eh?

Problem? I don't see any problems. Except maybe that you don't have any socks to knit. :) Your Kanui is fab! Love the hearts!!!

That shawl is the most amazing shade of blue.. utterly gorgeous! And the Kauni, and the serendipity socks (making me really envious of the sock club!). Fabulous!

Long term projects do lack some of the benfits of short term ones.

Your work is beautiful. I have seen and felt that Malabrigio and it is luscious. No wonder you have more of it.

Hang in there.

I was wondering where you were...did you join the Sock Wars 3? I didn't this time around, the yarn is a killer for me, allergic to shellfish and I refuse to drop $2 to a yarn company I don't like all that much.
I love the yarn on the bottom, stunningly gorgeous!
I am in a knitting funk...one pair of socks on the needles, a shawl and I want to knit something else oh, and a shawl on the triangle loom. Busy, busy, busy! Now to find time for me!
Glad to see you posting, again!
