WIP it, WIP it good!

Suddenly I have a lot of WIPs. Thankfully, the bout of startitis I’ve had this last month seems to have ended, and suddenly I’m content to be finishing things.

The Sunrise Circle Jacket – haven’t yet basted the seams and tried it on. I’ll do it just as soon as I’ve finished the…

Sideways Spencer – having finally found the yarn to finish it, I’ve spent this week frogging back the collar and front bands, adding quite a bit of length to the waistband, and reknitting the front bands and collar. I just have to sew in the ends and sew on the buttons and it’ll be done. It’s been so easy this time around, it’s almost spooky. When I did the buttonholes, I discovered I’d added enough rows to the waistband that I picked up exactly the right number of stitches to add another buttonhole to the front band, with exactly the same spacing between them. Spooky, but a good spooky.

Mum’s Black Crochet Hat – I had the itch to crochet something a few days ago, and Mum keeps mentioning how much she’d like me to hurry up and knit this. I’m up to the brim and should be done soon. Now if I could only find the boning I bought to support the brim…

Hello Possum Beanie and Scarf – still working on the scarf. Still trying to talk myself out of frogging back the ribbing on the hat and doing mistake rib instead.

Mega Red Socks – I haven’t touched these in a while because I’ve had no need of transit or waiting room knitting. I’m sure that’ll change soon, but for now I’m happy just finishing the other wips.

Red Blanket – what red blanket?
