I am 1/2 through another pair of shorts. These are in my new Plymouth Outback. I'm doing them flat because my circulars are being occupied with my F&F soaker which I'm stalling on.
What are you working on?

I am finishing the second leg of my shorts. Hope to treat with lanolin and have on my dd by tomorrow afternoon!! (Hope the stuff dries fast)

Am getting ready to start my Sigma top for the second time. Frogged the first one b/c it was too small.

Also have a black pair of shorts drying and awaiting embellishments.

Finally, I have two sweaters needing sleeves.

In front of me, I have the waistband of a pair of shorts on my size 4s. I have on my straight needles a soaker I am finishing, and on my DPNs, I have the first leg of a pair of shorts I am finishing. How's that for a lot of things going on at once?

My other size 7s have been freed up, so I will get the first pair of shorts started so I can start on the waistband of another soaker that I need to knit up for a charity auction for Fluff Factory!!! that HAS to be finished by Monday at the latest.

And then I have a soaker I have to start on, and two pairs of longies. I THINK that is it... for now... until I take on more customs in the middle of the month.

Oh yeah... and knit for the store! :shocked:

I have a tester soaker drying from dyeing that need lanolized. I have another tester on the circs that I should have finished already, but was majorly incapacitated yesterday and the day before (ligaments...long story). It needs dyed when done...wasn't gonna dye them, but changed my mind :LOL Have a pair of shorts started for DS, too. Kinda forgot about that :oops: Need to go post my to do list so I'll actually know what I have going on.

:love

Right now I only havr 3 things on needles :D

I have a pair of longies for a friend, the Tasha bag from Knitty for me, and the mama halter from LTK for me :oops:

The longies will probably be done this weekend...then I really need to finish the mama halter before summer is over :lol:

I have to sew up the soakers I just finished flat knitting (my own design, and they turned out great, if I do say so myself! I'll post pics and instructions in case anybody wants to try something not on a round) and put legs/edges on them. Then I have to figure out how to sign up for Pam's class, so I can learn how to work on the round. I still have to finish making an i-cord tie for the soaker I'm hoping to sell, and get that up on kittybids or somewhere.

I'm also teaching my DH how to make the type of soaker I've been doing recently. It's so cute to see a big 6'1" guy making NB soakers on teensy size 4 needles! :LOL I don't know about any of you, but that's a total turn on for me! :oops:

That's actually about it. Unless you count crochet and sewing, in which case I have about 6 more things going on! :roll:

I currently am in the middle of a soaker with my beautiful LTK After the Rain yarn. This is the first LTK yarn I've knit with and it is so gorgeous, I am enjoying every moment of working with it. I have yarn ready for the Tart Hat and French Market Bag, as well as more yarn for soakers on it's way, but no other projects on my needles at the moment. I'm kind of a one-thing-at-a-time kind of person.

I'm halfway through the bottom of the French Market bag. I just finished the Tart Hat (bad me!) but might redo the filling if I can figure out why mine's odd. I have over half my skein of Cascade Ecological left after knitting a sz 2 HS! soaker and I can't decide what to do with it.

I just started and ripped out and am starting again a pair of shorts. I'm using Pam's pattern and also the Plymouth Outback wool. I was thrilled last night when my gauge swatch matched *perfectly* to Pam's gauge! 8)

I loved working with the Outback. I wasn't as lucky in the gauge dept. but I knit a lot looser than Pamela (well then just about everybody- not just her)

The shorts performed well in their first use. Just slightly damp on the inside after a soppy diaper!


I am working on the Sigma top from knitty.com and will be startiing a Chunky Wonder.

I have three things going, and have only been knitting a short time. I am taking a class at our local arts center, which is basically a clinic. A crazy lady named Joyce with a white lady 'fro circulates among eight or so knitters, and helps with projects and teaches you things. It helps to have a few projects, so if you get stuck before your "turn" you can work on something else. I have a LTK easy peasy baby sweater, a F&F knit in the round soaker, and a soaker from a 1945 baby pattern book I found on ebay! Hope to finish something soon.

I'm working on a tank top for me. :D This is the first thing I've made for myself in a while. This is the only knit project I have going on right now. I don't have enough needles to start another. :lol:

I'm just finishing the F&F soaker. :fluffo I want to do the LTK easy peasy sweater next, but have to sew up a bunch of pjs for my girls first.
