I'm getting organized, and therefore finding a ton of unfinished projects. Shall we take an inventory? (Note: Some of these photos are a bit out of wack due to odd angles. I swear all of the items are nicely proportioned.)

Project: Clapotis

Project: Country Socks
Due Date: None

Project: Tricot
Due Date: 1 Jan 07 (This was a New Year's Resolution)
Status: Needs sleeves (are we seeing a trend?). This will require some math, as the raglans are not deep enough so I will need to extend them.



Want to see how old this is?



Those are straight needles, people! I seem to remember that I didn't actually want to use straights for this, they were just what was free. But the fact that I even knew I owned some at the time speaks to its age.

Want to know why I have abandoned it? Well, this for one:



And this is just what I have in WA! I know I've got at least the Cherry Blossom Shawl and Retroprep on needles in MS. Oh, and here I also have the Leaf Lace Shawl (needs another skein for edging), a baby sweater for Feb (barely begun) and Jaywalker (ready to knit heel flap on first sock) somewhere around here...

So here's the plan: tonight I kitchner those baby socks and do all the math required to finish these things. Mostly, this means figuring out the increases and decreases for sleeves, and figure out how many inches to do on the baby hat before decreasing. Then I will start working on finishing this stuff in the following order: baby hat, Manos purse, baby sweater, Blossom sweater, Mark's sweater. These should all be finished before the lighting of the Olympic torch, at which time I will participate in Yarn Harlot's Knitting Olympics. Consider this training.
