Currently on the go

See also Kake's Yarn Stash and Kake's Wish List.

• Badger eyelash waistcoat - About a third done.
• Kake's Noro Coat - The Sequel - body done, started on sleeves.
• Kake's Shiny Blanket - Have yarn from [Juliet]?! Time to dig this one out again.
• 'Birch' shawl - done! Blocked! Sew ends

Stalled projects

• Kake's mitred crochet baby jacket - Sort of lost interest a bit. I think I may just go for the adult size straight off.
• Kake's Noro Scarf for Art - done but it needs to be bigger. Waiting for Art to send yarn.
• Kake's Albany Summer Top - Need more yarn.
• Coiled basket - base is about 10cm diameter. I keep forgetting about this one.
• 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 :)
• 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. Try it on once more and then undo it.
• Marna's cardie - need to sew it up.
• Purple crochet baby trousers for Katy - need to buy some poppers that actually work. Or velcro.
• Jumper for doop - black Sirdar Wow - started again with top-down pattern.
• Hemp mitred squares thing - still playing about with design.
• Simon's jumper - need to mail swatches.

Reasonably firm plans

• hem-up tunic top in Jaeger Albany, 4 or 4.5mm needles.
• scarf for Art in stimpspun mulberry.
• old plans - jumper for Nick, anthracite bead choker for doop
