Scout asked, so I complied. Here it is, a picture of my current UFOs, only the Stripes are Stars sweater (think I"m going to frog it) and the Baby Bib o’Love (um, where did I put it?) are missing. The bib, by the way, only needs for me to sew on a button. Yeah, I know.
So. The pink blob is my Clapotis. Green felted bag needs handles, lonely Jaywalker waiting for a mate, Think Pink scarf, Summer of Sock / Cascade Fixation Army Green sock 1 waiting for a partner (love me that sock!), Shadow Shawl, looking a bit miffed, a crochet project for my KSKS pal, and my Heartbreakingly Cute Baby Kimono. I keep all these projects (‘cept the Clapotis) in a basket on the table next to the chair where I hang out in our living room. While I waited for my camera batteries to charge I began to work on the second sleeve of the baby kimono, so yeah for showing off UFOs. By the way, tag, you’re it.
I joined UFO August in an effort to get some of this stuff finished up. I’m leaving on Saturday for a week at the beach with my sister and her two kids, all of whom I taught to knit. Usually the four of us huddle under the beach umbrella with books and knitting projects and soak up the warmth. I’m sure I can finish a few things next week.
I had some lovely mail this week. Mama-E, one of the most generous ladies in blogland, sent me these earrings as a part of her Pay it Forward project. I’d like to PIF 13 times as that’s my lucky number( I even have it tattooed on the back of my neck). I dyed some roving and made some beaded goodies of my own. By the time I get back from my beach trip I hope to take a big bundle of love to the post office. So be on the look out, and remember, if you send or recieve for PIF, map yourself, and take the button, too!
And look what arrived from Simple Sparrow. 
I had a hard time getting a good picture of this, but hit the link to her site, and you’ll see this lovely with its siblings. It is one of the most cheerful, festive objects I’ve brought into my home in ages. I adore this little spool of crochet thread!
A pile of UFOs always makes me feel like a newbie knitter. *L* I had three things, and have frogged one and am thinking about doing the same to the others.
Very pretty earrings! I love that idea. And I love that wooden spool. Such a wonderful idea. Now I wish I hadn’t dumped a bag of them on my quilting partner. *L*
*hugs*
Looks like you have a nice pile of UFO’s there. I’ve been meaning to make the shadow shawl. I even have the yarn and pattern but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Very pretty earrings and what a cool idea.
Love the pile! I joined the UFO August KAL too. Maybe it will help me get the size of my pile under controll.
