There are three hours left to UFO August. I’m about to pop in a movie and knit the last two LONG rows of my Think Pink spiral scarf, which will bring my UFO to FO count to six, plus a sweater headed to the frog pond, leaving only three items from my original list of ten (like how I did that math?). Jeanie, the UFO August organizer (thanks Jeanie!) suggested that to celebrate, participants list our WIMs–Works in Mind, so here goes:
1. Remaining UFOs: Clapotis, Shadow Shawl, Jaywalker #2
2. Gifts Owed: Neal’s 2005 Christmas socks (to be cast on as soon as the spiral scarf is done) & MB’s 2005 Christmas socks (yarn purchased, need to decide a pattern).
3. Dreamy Projects: Simple Knitted Bodice (waiting for that first paycheck to purchase some pretty yarn), Cozy (using my Dye-o-Rama yarn from Heide); Mrs. Beeton (thinking about using the cashmere I bought in Rome. I can’t keep hanging on to it forever, can I?), One Skein Wonder (yarn from Noelle), Loop d Loop Capelet (yarn frogged from sweater maybe?), and Loop d Loop paisley carpet bag (more yarn from Noelle. Yeah. Her yarn rocks.). Of course, more socks. Always socks. Always and forever. Socks.
Ahem. Chicken Run is on…time to get back to the spiral scarf.
Chicken Run! Are we going on holiday?
10:38 pm. finishing the toe of my second sock to make 6 FO’s (I think) for UFO August. Can’t talk gotta go knit. . .
The Knitted Bodice is so lovely!
I put my Dreamy Projects on an Excel spreadsheet…terrifying.
I think you did really well on Fing your Os! You have some really fun stuff in the works :0)
You must be a teacher, like me??
I, too, am waiting for my first paycheck to buy yarn for the SKB, although I don’t think I can justify the over $100 for the Tilli Tomas yarn.
Hmmm…I wonder if my husband would buy the rationale that it is a back to school supply??
