I've been busy...

So my Ravelry project page is fast filling up. It seems like for every one project I finish, I have 5 more started! There is always something new and beautiful to make and I can always find a new and exciting yarn to use! However, I am trying hard to limit myself on fiber right now as I just finished organizing about 5 big bins of yarn and moving them downstairs and out of my closet! Hey, look I found my favorite shirt!! :P

Finished Projects
This week, I finished one purple cobasi sock and finished my blue Age of Brass and Steam kerchief.
It feels a little bit small, but once I block it, it should stretch a little bit bigger and be more comfortable.

Knit WIPS
I have a lime green Age of Brass and Steam Kerchief in the works, but that one I am making larger and it should come out more as a shawlette size when it is finished and blocked. I am quite happy with it so far though.

I have a large cable blanket in progress right now as I am addicted to my newfound skill of cabling and have found many projects to make with cables. I can't start them all at once even though I so wish I could!

I have several baby gifts going on right now: an Old Shale patterned baby blanket and a shawl to cuddle in during the midnight feeding time.

I have spring fingerless mitts that I just started working on and that I am excited about as they will be less bulky than the mitts I wore during the winter (and am currently wearing). They should be perfect for the cold, air-conditioned library this summer, but not super warm.

I also have two mates of socks that I need to start and finish, but I have been wearing the mismatched socks lately as they feel so nice and I have one done with each pattern. They both have purples in them, so they are somewhat coordinated!

Crochet WIPS
I am working on a baby blanket in a pink, green, purple multi yarn. It isn't for anyone in particular, but will come in handy as more friends have babies in the future.

That's it for now! I have been dying to start many new projects as spring is here and it is time to transition to lighter clothing.

What have you all been working on lately?

Cheers,
Katy
