Thought I would start a new topic for everyone to share a little about their works in progress....
currently I am working on a diaper cover made in Malabrigo orchid and brilliante for a gift and socks in knitpicks handdyed sock for my FIL. I hate knitting socks for men. They take so loooooong!

    My FIRST ever project. A blue baby blanket for my 8 month old son. I've got about 20" so far...definitely the largest thing I have ever attempted.

I have 3 kids and I have 2 sweaters and a blanket on the go! a burgandy sweater for my youngest, a purple blanket for my daughter and a yellow and white sweater for my daughter! they are in varying stages of doneness ad hope to be done all in the next month and then startt on 2 more blankets, and 2 more sweaters! I know kind of ambitious but it is going to get done this year! <3 working with yearn and stitching!

    I'm working on an afghan for myself. I am in the process of buying a house and I want a big comfortable homemade afghan.:smile:

    I am also getting started on some projects for a craft fair or two. I am working on coffee cup sleeves and scarves. I found a few other patterns I am interested in trying out. I am hoping to get a lot done this summer when I am off. (I am a teacher)

    I have a dishcloth, pray shawl, socks, log cabin blanket and scarf on my needles.

    I have 3 prayer shawls on my hooks too.

    I love having multiple projects going so I don't get bored. And yes I do complete projects just not at the rate that single minded crafters do. LOL

    I've just learned the gorgeous skill of ENTRELAC!!! Lol, finally! I've just finished knitting a ginormous berry-stitched striped baby blanket for my little sister's son-to-be and shipped it off to CA to her (I'm in NY)!

    As previously stated, just learned Entrelac, and now I'm making... well I don't know what it's going to be yet :D But I'm using my trusty Knit Picks interchangeables and some of their yarn, Wool of the Andes, in Spruce and Black. LOVE LOVE LOVE their yarn!

    Ooh, I really want to make an afghan, but I shiver at the though of making something larger than a baby blanket. I'm one for instant gratification lol.

    I hear ya. I have been working on this thing since December... And I still have a long whay to go. Also doesn't help that I am making it out of granny sqaures and then attaching them all. It's taking forever, but I cannot wait to see it all together. :smile: Then I will be taking a break from super large projects...
