(heh. can you tell what decade I grew up in?)

Here we have the WIPs started in 2005:
* red toe-up socks (one sock has a bit of the cuff started, the other is in the middle of the short row heel redo)
* a soap bag - just needs a cord to cinch it closed
* Mother Bear #2 - still needs an arm and a face
* The Sweater Workshop “Thing” - this is probably a perma-WIP
* modified mini-skull tote - got too tangled. I’m not sure why I’m so concerned with keeping the colors as continuous as possible - it’s going to get felted.

The 2006 WIPs:
* Fox & Geese mittens in purple & white - for Lilin. I’m at the point of increasing for the thumb.
* Dad’s xmas gloves - all that’s needed are one pinky finger and two thumbs
* Tasha bag
* placemat from sari silk
* lacy snowflake (it’s the tiny speck of white by the addi dpns)

* CTH glitz socks
* the start of some fuzzy feet (the blue wools)
* the test-knit sock - I have a toe! (and it fits! shocking)
* Dulaan hat #1 - needs a cuff. and maybe a pompom
* felted penguin

The Swatches that Mock me:
* blue KP Wool - a sweater of some sort. would help if I remembered what size needles I used on the swatch.
* carmel Dale Svale - to be a tank (think it was Calla from MagKnits last year). gauge was a bit off.
* sock yarn ribbing swatch - I was thinking of making gloves with it at the time.
* brown sock yarn - swatching for dh’s socks
* fushia CE Princess - possibly my Wicked sweater. again, gauge problems.
the result of this is that it feels like I have a lot less WIPs then I think I do. maybe cuz in my head, the list includes all the things I have yarn for but haven’t done much with yet. or maybe finishing and frogging things for the UFO Challenge has helped. (March’s project was my “Olympic” legwarmers. They are now frogged. frogging frozen mohair isn’t nearly as bad as ‘dry’ mohair. still a pain though.)
so, what to choose for April’s UFO project… I’m leaning towards one of the bags - either Tasha or the felted mini-skull.
Tomorrow, I’ll share the stash. Assuming I can find a WIFI zone that’s open.










You’re nearly done with a few projects there. : )
Quite a variety of projects to choose from.
Wow! That’s quite a pile of WIP’s!
The miniskull bag sounds really cool - go for it!
