See [http://the.earth.li/~kake/cgi-bin/blog/blog.cgi/making.pod Kake Makes blog] for all the boring details of what I did when (except I got bored of updating it). See also [[Kake's Yarn Stash]] and [[Kake's Wish List]].

* [[Kake's Birch Shawl|'Birch' shawl]] - about 30 rows done.
* [[Kake's Rainbow Hemp Jumper|Rainbow-coloured hemp jumper for me]] - all knitting finished except neck border; ends darned in and blocking done.
* [[Kake's Sirdar Wow Jumper for doop|Jumper for doop]] - black Sirdar Wow - started again with top-down pattern.
* [[Kake's Shiny Blanket]] - 70% of yarn used, will probably need more.
* Hemp [[mitred squares]] thing - still playing about with design.
* [[Kake's jumper for Simon|Simon's jumper]] - swatches made, measuring him tomorrow.

=== Stalled projects ===

* [[Kake's Cashmerino Baby Hooded Top|Debbie Bliss hooded top for Holly]] - knitting is all finished, one sleeve sewn on. I'm wishing I'd adapted the pattern to avoid seams.
* [[Kake's Coiled Baskets|Coiled basket]] - base is about 10cm diameter. I keep forgetting about this one.
* [[Kake's Black Fishnet Crochet Jumper|Black fishnet crochet jumper]] - two small seams left to do, but it's actually wearable now. Which has removed my motivation to finish it properly :)
* [[Kake's Lilac Long Sleeve Top|Lilac long-sleeved top]] - need to decide if I actually like this after all. I think I probably don't - the yarn is too heavy for the design.
* [[Kake's Sonnet for Marna|Marna's cardie]] - need to try it on Marna.
* [[Kake's Noro Coat|Noro coat]] - have run out of yarn!
* Purple crochet baby trousers for Katy - need to buy some poppers that actually work. Or velcro.

=== Reasonably firm plans ===

* jumper in black, green and red [[Jaeger Matchmaker Merino]] for Toby.
* choker for doop - he wants the anthracite beads; I need to buy more
* jumper for Nick - green probably
* [[Kake's Noro Scarf For Art|Scarf for Art]] - Noro Iro shade 51 (yarn is in stash)
