Y2: Self-Imposed Year of Projects - Update #47

And here we are again! Sunday Sunday Sunday :) Sometimes, I feel like my weeks are so smooshed together and other times I feel like weeks drag on and on. This is one of those weeks where I feel like I was just doing this...even though I know it's been a week. ::sigh::

Nothing new here...that's okay :) Oh wait, I lied....take a look at #25 and you can go see what my Soooper Seeekrit Swap Project turned out to be (I'll have a full update on Friday regarding that...I hope).

Works-in-Progress (WIPs)
1. Baby Surprise Jacket: started May 27, 2013
2. Traveling Vines Socks (Adult): started May 31, 2013
3. Dragon's Egg Socks: started September 2, 2013

4. Zombie ViXen Fingerless Mitts: started November 23, 2013

I've spent some time this week working on...well...most everything, really. Okay, I haven't touched my Dragon's Egg Socks but I've finished the "Center 90" section on my Baby Surprise Jacket (if you're made it, you know what I'm talking about). I'm also halfway through the leg of my Traveling Vines Sock (the second one). And....I started a new project. Apparently three WIPs wasn't enough for me so I started the Zombie ViXen Fingerless Mitts last night. To be fair, it was on my Year of Projects list...and I don't think I'll finish them before the end of the year because it's with sock yarn on sock yarn needles...but it should still be fun. We'll see how I feel in a couple of days when I get a bit more into the cabling...

So, that means my remaining lists look like this:

Children's Items 
1. "Little 16" Newborn Socks
2. Alvin Sweater
3. Milo


 Household Items
1. Halloween Creepy Cloths (2)
2. Assorted Harry Potter Cloths
3. Assorted Doctor Who Cloths

Designs (which may or may not be soooper seeekrit)
1. Little Man's Baby Blanket
2. Susan's Hat (4 versions) (yes, I've mostly sussed out one version but it's still on this list)
3. Assorted dishcloths (set of 12?)
4. Traveling Vines Scarf
5. Traveling Vines Socks (baby and adult-sized as well) - yes, this is a WIP...still working on it...
6. Pinwheel Market Bag
7. Anything else that comes along (I have a notebook or two or seventeen somewhere with potential designs and random ideas)


With everything that I have left, the time of year, and all the things that are happening, I highly doubt that I'm going to wind up starting anything new (perhaps something small, like a washcloth)...so, for now, don't expect anything from this list to be started and finished this year (except, again, maybe a washcloth). I may even stop posting this part. We'll see how things go. 



In "real life" news, there isn't much going on around here. It's Thanksgiving this week so I'll be doing things like cleaning the house, making sure we have all our food stuff for Thursday, hanging out with Little Man, and....that's about it. Nothing too terribly exciting around here. 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and a good week :)

  2. I'm impressed you can keep to only four(!) WIPs. I have like.. 12 :P I'm doing my first pair of fingerless mitts too, in sock yarn... It definitely takes a while! That pattern was really pretty though, I look forward to seeing yours :)
