Knitting! Yes, it's still happening.

I spent some time last night working on the Beaded Dream In Color Baby Clapotis. I'm so very glad someone out there created the row-by-row stitch count spreadsheet--I've been using it to help me keep track of which rows get beaded. I completed an increase before I realized I'm too tired to pay attention to that much required detail.

I've worked a few more rows on the Meditation piece as well.

The Vegas sock is on the foot. Several inches to go still before I get to the toe.

I added about two rows to the GameSock as well this weekend.

The humongous bag is sitting here languishing while I ponder whether the marker is on the proper side to make the handles. This is a case of needing to research, and that I'm not trusting the pattern.

Also, the whatsit's been picked back up for adding on. My first "wing" try didn't have the right shape, so I need to rip back and start over. So now I know what real designers do--a lot of ripping as they learn what will and won't work. Whee.

The golf club covers are languishing. I need to trace the pattern for the symbol.

I think to keep me from buying more yarn for a while I'll need to start finishing some projects, and when I want to buy, I'll take a picture of some yarn I already have and add it to the Stash at Ravelry. Sort of as a reminder that I own some of this stuff, and have plenty planned to do already.

I'm looking for a new fall-in-love pattern for a sweater. I have two sweater's worth of yarn--green, and red/black. I'll be starting with something simple--a basic sweater to start--and maybe go to something with cabley goodness after that. Nevermind the lovely blue yarn for a sized 4T sweater as well--that will also be done this fall.

LOL This is why I want to photodocument my stash as well! I never thought I would get to this point, but I have actually forgotten about some of the yarns I have. Ooops.

I'm fond of the Knitting Pure and Simple patterns, and have found them very easy to follow. Stephanie Japel also does gorgeous stuff for those of us who are not sticks.

(NB: I *hate* having to sew shit together when I'm done knitting it, so I will nearly always recommend top-down patterns) Check my queue. :)

Yay! Will look up KPaS in a moment.

I keep falling in love with wraps. I don't *wear* wraps, but I love them and their flexibility. Maybe if I have one, I'll wear it. There is this lovely charcoal alpaca just sitting here, waiting to be used...oh, wait. Sweaters. Yeah.

I'll look over your queue, and see if something calls to me. *grin*

I'm also waiting for the Fall Knitty--and have to get the Fall IK and this other magazine whose name is escaping me.

Personally, I think it's just something about green golf club covers. I finished mine... two a month ago, the "extra" one 2 weeks ago... almost 3. They're still sitting there waiting for me to find my yarn needle and finish off the ends... and tie them only the chain-stitch "string" to they can go on the clubs and bag.
