Current projects

Jumper for Pete (in black, of course). Top-down and in the round, using this pattern guideline. Going pretty well - I'm about 5" down from the underarm now.
Top for myself, to this pattern, but in Shadow Rib. It's starting off in navy cotton, but I'm intending to put some stripes in further up, of some of the Colinette offcuts Marna's donated me.
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

Probably a jumper or cardigan for myself out of some charcoaly slub cotton I got cheap from Texere.
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.
I really, really want to make this hooded jumper for myself. So much so that I will even fork over *actual cash* for the pattern. I may even buy brand new yarn from a real shop, as well, rather than getting stuff off Ebay & in cheap offers from online shops. Cor.
I quite like this sleeveless top, as well. The pink stuff I have from the Secret Santa is ribbon yarn, maybe I'll use that. Might change the neckline, though - we'll see.

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.
Cardigan for jess for her birthday - bought thick white cotton yarn and dyed it grey (took a couple of goes to get a decent colour!). I heavily adapted a pattern I found online - I'll put the pattern up here soon.
Scarf for myself from the skein of lovely green/purple/red Colinette Fandango yarn Marna gave me. Garter stitch (the yarn is so fuzzy that anything more complicated is a waste of time) on 12mm needles.
