Status Report

I thought I'd post a status update to show that despite a paucity of FOs, I am still knitting.

From oldest to newest
• pulli mit rüsche (Rebecca #25 pattern #22) This is one of the first knitting projects I ever started. Not quite sure what my hang-up with it is, but it's been ready to be seamed for a very long time. Certain friends are pressuring me to get it off my in progress list, so maybe I'll finish it in the near future.
• in from the cold striped scarf
  I'm not in any great hurry to finish this project. I pick it up from time to time and knit a few rows.
• performance enhancing sweater
  This is the only project I've really been working on. Version 2 is going well, though it is still a bit bigger than it probably should be. I'm working on the second sleeve while I wait for my new needles (to use for the ribbing on the body) to arrive. It should be finished soon.

hrm, I wonder who these friends. They must be so smart and beautiful. :)
GET IT DONE!

I hope you get those needles soon.

I forgot to mention that the rug is crocheted--probably with black hemp. It's gorgeous and fun, but that price! Even for a Persian rug, that's good money. I'm curious as to who actually crocheted the darn thing and did they see any profit.

So much black and white!

The black and white scarf looks stunning! I shudder at the thought of having to weave in all the ends.

Yes, get that darn thing done and off the list.

[Marisa]

Can't wait to see some FOs ;-) BTW, thanks for the link to the pantyhose dolls....creeeeepy! They sure make fun fur sweaters look like a minor fashion fuax pas.

I'm with the other girls I think I've seen this WIP show up a few times on your blog...get it done and then you can show it off! But who am I to talk I have so many things to finish!

[Melissa]

I'm liking the scarf. BTW, what do you use to do your photo editing? I like how you did the three shots in a row.

ooooh, "paucity!" now there's a word you don't see every day! p.s. isn't black and white the new black?
