What's everyone working on... AKA Where did everyone go?

[PapayaMom]

I had to force myself to stay away from this section of the board while our house was on the market and while we were moving. There just wasn't a way for me to keep knitting and keep the house in show condition. Well 6 months later we have sold, moved in with my parents, closed on our new house and moved in. So naturally as the dust settled from our crazy 1/2 year I have been itching to get back to knitting. I came back to the board to find it very quiet, so where is everyone?

I cast on "Valentine" for my daughter using light purple stash cotton. I am about 3 inches into it and dd is so anxious for it to be done. I had forgotten the joy it brings to make her something, she really seems to get that it is a special thing

So what's on the needles and what are you anxious to cast on?

I'm on a bit of a felting kick. I got a HUGE amount of wool from freecycle so I'm experimenting with all those thigs I didn't want to buy expensive wool for.

so far I have knit and felted a crown for DS, it's now waiting for me to find my needle felting stuff to add some finishing touches.

I've got a bowl waiting to go into the next wash to felt. If it turns out OK I'm planning to knit a few more as christmas gifts.

Right now I'm doing a 10 stitch blanket for DDs doll and using up some odds and ends.

I have a set of longies, 2 WHW diaper covers, along with a baby washcloth OTN right now.

I really love that 10-stitch blanket... I may have to make one of those with some stash yarn.

I've got 2 pairs ofsocks going and a pair of fingerless gloves...All December Holiday gifts

I have been knitting lots of little hats, thrummed mittens, and I am working on a hemlock ring afgan.

I recently finished my clapotis (haven't even worn it yet- I should do that!).

I guess I am just trying to get Christmas gifts out of the way now- rather than last minute knitting and sewing in December!

I had been working on longies and soakers for the boy on the way in December...but I have moved on to blankets.

I made a pinwheel and am on to OpArt. Who knew blankets could be quick and fun?!

You're doing the hemlock! Post pics when you're done! I had that error of a few stitches, let it sit for a week, and have decided the yarn will better serve http://moreknits.blogspot.com/2009/0...rt-unisex.html for dd.

Also Christmas knitting! Finishing mom's felted bag hopefully tonight. Have made a hat for my sis. Need to do dh's socks - my first. And I'm itching for another sweater for myself. And ds needs a sweater too. I just learned how to cable (it took about 30 seconds ) and I think a top down sweater w/ some cables would be perfect for him. Oh - and a good friend is pregnant, so I've been working on hats and a short sleeved cardi/vest for the babe. My grandma has started feeling cold all the time, so a shawl for her would be nice for Christmas.

So, I shouldn't even be here! I am feeling the holiday stress already and have a very short list of knitted items to make!

I don't usually hang out over here. But I saw this thread and thought I'd pop in.

I'm working right now on a scarf for myself, from my own handspun yarn which I'm ridiculously proud of. It's a plain ribbed scarf, to show off the yarn at its best. It's a chunky three-ply merino yarn.

Also socks for myself from a desert-shades colorway of Trekking XXL.

And I've promised to make DD2 a pair of Fixation socks next. Then comes hats and gloves for the kids' winter. Then Christmas knitting, if I can find the time. I want to make socks for my mom and for DH's cousin, and something for MIL.

Knitting a shawl for my sister for Christmas with Noro Silk Garden Sock and I'm LOVING how it's turning out.

Just finished knitting a baby sweater for our LO, now all I have to do is block and sew a couple of seams.

I'm going to the Stitches Midwest convention this Saturday with my mom, and I can't wait to pick out some yarns for more Christmas knitting!

AKA Where did everyone go?

Um, ravelry?

[flapjack]

BBL with pictures. I've got Ishbel on the needles, a hexagonal crochet blanket type thing on the crochet hook and some sumptuous BFL on the wheel. Could be worse

I'm working on a crochet phone case that i will give as a bday gift.

after that not sure what i'll cast on next.

[Callimom]

Fall always makes me want to knit more. I've got socks on the needles now - some for me and some Christmas gifts. I am such a slow knitter that I take it everywhere with me. Who I am with/seeing determines what I am knitting - lol.

I have a sweater I am hoping to finish for one of my kids for Christmas - we'll see if it gets done.

Just finished a cute hat for a friend's new baby.

I have nothing on the needles yet because i just bought some KnitPicks NicklePlated Options yesterday and i'm trying to sell my Denise Interchangeable Set.

[mlh]

That Valentine is gorgeous! I spent most of August finishing up projects that had been sitting around for the past year. Finished up some leg warmers, comfort shawl, and a skirt.

A few days ago I cast on another Spiral Skirt for my youngest dd so she can have a matching skirt to big sisters! She is really excited!
