I am . . . usually and generally . . . a knit-one-thing-at-a-time kind of knitter. That approach serves me well. I might be slow, and I might be boring, but . . . I get things finished.

Right now though? YIKES! I have so many things on my needles I’m giving myself a headache. Let’s have a quick drive-by update, shall we?

First . . . there’s that black-and-white-and-“red”-all-over blob up top. It looks like the beginnings of a sweater . . . because it IS the beginnings of a sweater! This is a test knit for Elizabeth Smith, and I’m pretty excited about . . . what I’ll end up with. I’m knitting with Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in the newsprint color way (which, like all BT yarn, is no longer available, sad to say). I’ve had this yarn in my stash for a very, very long time . . . just waiting to use it for something. This is going to be perfect! And this sweater has a deadline, so this is where all of my knitting time is focused these days.

Then, there’s this neat little stack of knitted goodnes . . . all blocked and ready to seam. Yep. I’ve finished all the pieces for Tom’s big old woolly man fishing sweater. Soon. I’ll get to it soon! Although the time pressure has eased for having this sweater finished for fall wear. Because of some other (fun) things on his schedule – and because the river is SO low as not to offer decent fishing any more this year – Tom won’t really need this sweater in October like I planned. So I have some breathing room here.

And then I’ve got my poor little first-sock-in-a-decade . . . just sitting there, waiting for action. It may be on hold for now, but it’s certainly not forgotten.

How about YOU?
What’s on your drive-by list these days?
