...or six, wait, is that SEVEN? Darn. I thought I was doing well...
Yes, I must confess to seven if this is full disclosure. At one point in August, I had no WIPs. Here's what I have four weeks later. Clockwise from the socks:
1. Broadripple in Cascade Fixation, midway through gusset on second sock
2. One Skein Wonder in CTH Twister (started last night b/c I didn't have sense enough to go to bed)
3. Daphne Baby Cape, a few ends left, buttons, attach one side of hood and fringe (completed but not pictured)
4. Unmentionable, needs to be stuffed, assembled, & dressed (see Knit 2 Together, Ullman & Clark, p. 66)
5. Danica Scarf for Red Scarf Project, Lion Wool Worsted, about 25% complete
6. Loose Five Braid Cable out of Vanna's Choice, needs fringe to make it a scarf. Done to test yarn and make a cable swatch. Have washed a stockinette swatch twice and I'm not happy with how it is wearing -- looks worn and fuzzy already.
7. Unmentionable, a few ends to weave in and buttons -- cannot find 2" buttons. (see Fitted Knits, Japel, p. 48)
Unmentionables are obviously gifts, but since they are going to non-knitters I've given references for the curious knitters out there. Love the #7, tried it on enough times that hubby asked if I was going to be able to give it away. I reassured him that wouldn't be a problem since I already bought yarn to make one for me.... And #4 should be gifted soon, so I can show pix and describe a couple of minor adjustments I made to the pattern.
Planted some window boxes yesterday with plants from Sierra Vista Growers in La Union, NM. Just love this place. All their plants look full and healthy, and there are plenty of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to keep you entertained while shopping. They are also the only place I could find vermiculite to make Mel's Mix for our Square Foot Gardens, and the only place we could find seaweed extract, fish emulsion, and gypsum to keep our plants healthy. We've had quite a learning curve here -- we actually OVER-watered at first. Anyway, here are the boxes:
