So how did I do on that Queue?


July

[x] Finish Giulietta socks - b project
[ ] Finish the pink dress
[ ] Weeping angels socks
[ ] Finishing Sylvi
[ ] Finish Circles of Noro cardigan
[ ] Elysium cardigan


 August

[ ] Elysium shawl August c project
[ ] Brown brocade texture vest
[ ] Celtic knit cabled capelet
[ ] Colour work capelet
[X] Better bucket hat
 


Lots of revisions to this. I wound up getting into an accident that meant i couldn't knit for a couple of weeks, and frustration with gauge on weeping angels made me frog them and use a different pair of socks for my august project. They were Cubist socks by Cookie A and I got them finished before the August 31 deadline.

the Better Buck Hat was a three day long knit, and I'm calling it a success.

So, September.

[] Weeping Angels Socks
[] Dido Scarf
[] Cabled Vest

five projects in a month, HA! I have Weeping Angels back on the needles and I've got until tomorrow to get to the first heel turn.  I haven't cast on Dido yet.

I'm swatching like mad for a cable knit waistcoat, and I keep frogging back and rejecting my swatches. I'm on attempt four right now, and the cable is complex enough that I'm giving it a bit before I decide that I hate it. It is a very complex cable and I have my doubts about using it, but I'll give it a chance for a few more rows before frogging and going with attempt 5, which will simply be Saxon Braid.
