===Current projects===

  • My main current project is a surprise for someone, so I shan't mention it here till it's finished...
  • Also working on a scarf from the skein of lovely green/purple/red Colinette Fandango yarn Marna gave me. Using garter stitch, as the yarn is so fuzzy that doing anything more complicated is a waster of time. I'm knitting it on 12mm needles - largest I've used to date! - and it's proving trickier than you might think.
  • When I went home for Christmas I inherited a half-knit cardigan that my mother started on some time ago. The pattern (with pic) is from a 1989 Womens' Weekly, so we assume it was around then that she last went anywhere near it. She suggested ripping it back & using the wool for something else, but as I don't wear wool myself (& wasn't desperately keen on the colour - light beige), I thought I'd make something for her. And since she likes the pattern & it's already started, I might as well finish it off. It is likely to take some time - it's in 4-ply, with 3.25mm needles, & a bobble pattern that's quite time-consuming.

===Planned projects===

  • Jumper for Pete (in black, of course). I already have the yarn for this.
  • Top for myself - have several bits of yarn-stash that I'm thinking of making something from. Current favourite is the pink I got from the Secret Santa, with some shiny pinky Colinette offcuts courtesy of Marna. I've also got some nice blue cotton.
  • Jumper for Ben.
  • Mum has offered to pay for yarn so I can make my sister a version of the hooded jumper I made myself.

===Finished projects===

  • Hooded jumper from Knitty (I made mine in all black). Very fond of this - the first thing I'd knitted in years, & it fits & everything!
  • Scarf for my Dad for Christmas - two shades of blue, in 2x2 rib.
  • Scarf for Ben for Christmas - black cotton chenille, with stripes of silver acrylic "mohair" & black eyelash knitted in with the chenille. Moss stitch (I like moss stitch).
  • Beaded necklaces for my mother & sister.
