Knitters: What are you working on right now?

[astrid]

I finished dd's Lopi and have started a short-sleeved, cotton cardigan for myself in pale sage. I'm hoping to get a lot of knitting done on the long drive from CT to CO next week!

What's on your needles?

[KAR120C]

I'm finishing the fourth of a set (so I don't always have to find The One And Only Match every time they go through the wash...) -- I'm pretty sure I'll get one more pair out of the same yarn, but first I'm doing a pair of entrelac socks in a rainbow variegated silk blend! Those should be fun! :)

A big bag to felt. Probably on the burner 'till fall. Double stranded Brown Sheep Worsted in many colors in the round.:)

[Mom2legomaniacs]

I am working the mate to a sock. It is made out of the Panda Cotton in the colorway Fruit Salad. (picture of it is on my blog linked in sig below)

I also have a fingerless mitten thing going for my ds. It is just made from the Caron Simply Soft. I have quite a bit of it around. And if he loses it, no worries that I used expensive yarn for it! I am working on the 2nd one for this one.

And I have the beginnings of a sweater vest for my ds for Christmas. It is of Cotton Tweed yarn in a dark navy with little flecks of color in it. I have done the ribbing and an inch or two up the back. It is done in the flat. (I have picture of this up as well)

I can't wait to get my sock finished so I can wear them!

I'm working on the Sock of Death, which has killed all interest I have in knitting. It seemed like such an innocent sock when I cast on. Who knew that it would bring all my knitting to a screeching halt?

[iquilt]

I am finishing a kid's sweater for our church's Lamb's Wool contribution, plus my very first sock is almost done! I must say I can see why socks can be addicting :)

I am reknitting a pair of socks I knit for my giant footed son.
I knit this pair toe up with a short row heel.

Well, apparently a short ro heel makes a very narrow instep. Too narrow for the recepient to actually squeeze his foot into. He wears a size 14 shoe so that was a lot of frogging. (No one in the house could wear the socks as they were so.......sigh.):crying:

This is the second time this has happened to this particular child. The last pair of socks got handed down to his next younger brother.

. . . a small, simple baby blanket, with large needles and thick yarn.

Ahhhhhhhh.

Very relaxing.

[mysticamethyst]

a very, very simple scarf. It is my first attempt, the edges look like a zig zag, lol, but I am super poud of it. It will be purple and white and I will wear it in the fall. I am self-taught via youtube.com, can't afford classes and do not mesh with most groups so, there it is. I have problems reading directions, total visual learner, so not sure if I will ever get past this one stitch.

I am teaching ds10 and dd6 to knit. We are starting our first project - a cotton washcloth!

I'm working on the Sock of Death, which has killed all interest I have in knitting. It seemed like such an innocent sock when I cast on. Who knew that it would bring all my knitting to a screeching halt?

I feel your pain. Every time I knit socks, I end (usually half way through the second one) saying, "I am never going to knit socks again." And then I forget about the pain and drudgery and cast on a new one a few months later.

Currently I'm working on Thermal (http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=136084) from Knitty, which is worked on fairly small needles for a sweater. But because I know it's going to take forever, I don't have that GET IT DONE NOW anticipation. Maybe I'll have it ready for next winter?

[Janet in Toronto]

I'm working on a Moderne Baby Blanket (http://images.amazon.com/media/i3d/01/log_cabin.pdf) for my son-to-be-godson in Sirdar Breeze (it's a color block pattern in pale brown, green, blue, and white). The pattern is from Mason Dixon Knitting. On another set of needles is a heather brown cardigan that's cabled from under the bust to the lower edge and at the cuffs. The pattern is Mr. Greenjeans (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall07/PATTgreenjeans.html) .

I also have a tea cosy cast on but I need the needles from the cardi sleeves so it will have to wait a while. It'll be knit in Noro Kureyon as a gift for my sister who's current tea cosy has big burn holes in it!

[Montana Peach]

I am knitting squares, 32-36 stitches square. My intention is to put them together to make one big blanket as they are all different patterns. Eventually it will be 17 x 17 squares, 289 total. I an at about 250 now and it still amazes me I have found that many different patterns. It's like an addiction...:)

I have had a blast learning all the many patterns and I daresay knitting them is far more fun than stitching them all together will be..LOL.

[Emmy]

That modern baby blanket looks so cool!

I have been flailing on the knitting front the last few months. I did 2 1/2 pairs of mittens and a sweater for the baby that I finished too late for him to wear this year (so of course it will be too small next year, sigh) I just got my yarn and needles organized again this weekend and I started on my first pair of socks. I am excited to try something new. I will need to start another project too since I like to have 2 things going at once. Probably a sweater for one of my older boys.

[Kathy in NC]

I. am crocheting an afghan which I'll donate to our church's prayer shawl ministry. It is slow going, though, as I don't just "sit" very often

[Peela]

I seem to only knit self striping socks nowadays, but its an easy thing to take along to kids' classes when I am sitting chatting.

[Verena]

A kid's hat. It has been lying around for, ummmh, a long time, but I'll pick it up again soon :-).

[Lizzie in Ma]

I am knitting a booga type bag for our dd's vocal teacher. In gorgeous lilacs.
