Active WIPs:
Begun 2015:
*Vivid Wedding Afghan for J&C - begun 6/11/15, knit this for my cousin's wedding (Dec 2015). I'm adding an antique lace border to it that I think highlights the petals of the vivid square center work, and will finish before their first wedding anniversary this Dec 2016 :)
Begun 2014:
*Sock Yarn Throw - begun 9/1/14, don't we all have one of these? Mine started as hexipuffs, which I swiftly fell out of love with after knitting the fifth one. It's more of an afterthought, to use up the last dregs of yummy sock yarn we can't bear to throw away. I'll use it to turn in a quick class if need be, and I really need more miniskeins (hundreds!) to make it nice and colorful. It's more a sock yarn scarf at the moment, but I have dreams that in a few years, it'll be a nice throw for the living room.
Hibernating: These are the projects I've put aside to work on others, that I can't bear to frog (yet), and plan/hope to get back to someday:
*Vintage Reindeer Sweater for DH - begun 2/12/12, our kiddos "commissioned" me to knit this for DH so he'd have one to match all of ours, but he really doesn't want one (so he says)
*Puff Daddy cushion for living room - begun 7/11/14, really do want to finish this and not buy one in a store for $100+, but it tires my arms very quickly with several strands held together
*Amy Farrah Fowler granny square afghan - begun 7/17/14, about 30% completed, but the squares are coming out way larger than in The Big Bang Theory TV show, so I'm a bit discouraged. A fellow Ravenclaw knows one of the executive producers, and told her about my afghan and got full blanket shots from her so I can make it as true to the original as possible - she then told the cast about it, so I can't give up on it :) Crocheting on it too much hurts my shoulder, so I need to pace myself
*attic24 Cosy Stripe blanket for living room - begun 9/2/15, you can never have too many cosy blankets in our house when it gets cold in the winter, and I have the yarn on hand. Using the "Harmony colors" instead of the Fall palette. Ditto crochet hurts my shoulder
*Mermaid lap blanket 2 for DD2- started 10/2015 as a Christmas gift, she says she still wants it, ditto crochet hurts my shoulder
TARDIS stuffed plush WIP - begun 10/27/11. All panels are knit, just the duplicate st needs to be done, and I didn't like the way it was coming out.
HP Squares Blanket - 12 squares knit, should do 4 more and seam together
Knit paper chain
32 st Advent Calendar Scarf 2013
49 st Advent Calendar Scarf 2013
No-fuss shade-loving shawl
GeekALong blanket 2014 - Triforce Square
Catbug ami
Lamp cosies for the office
Toothless hat for DD1's friend
VividToo
Lord of the Rings ami - begun 2/2009, these are my oldest WIPs, sad to say. The bodies are crocheted and stuffed, and they live on a dusty bookshelf in the basement until I get around to adding their hair and clothes. The felt clothes patterns weren't working for my scale/gauge, so they've been suffering, cold and neglected. I really should take care of these poor gents.
Really too many WIPs to have to deal with, and they weigh me down and give me the guilts. I think I need to frog all those not marked with "*" and move on. I can reuse most of the yarn for Knit A Square hats, squares, and handwarmers.
