UFO City

That's where my knitting mojo is currently residing these days. It seems I'm only good for fast dishcloth projects, and other stuff just falls by the wayside. Which is good and bad; good because my cotton yarn stash is fast approaching gargantuan proportions (in comparison to my allotted storage space, at least), and bad because I don't actually use the dishcloths I make. Before you think me crazy and wasteful, let me add that the cloths I make (most of them, I do keep my faves) are sent off to good homes where they do get used! When I have my own kitchen again (someday soon!), I'll be well-stocked in the cloth department.

Anyway, it would seem that I've knit 8 dishcloths in the last month, plus finished one UFO cloth (I know, seriously, how ADD do you have to be to leave a dishcloth unfinished!?), in addition to various other projects that I've started and then put down. Looking through my Ravelry projects page, it seems I have some work to do. I'm pretty disorganized for the most part, but love how Rav keeps me together with the knitting stuff...assuming I actually update it when something changes, of course. Right now there's a year+ old sweater for my 10yr old son Dillon in my UFOs. That's what I'm working on today. It's totally finished except for the sleeves - it's more of a hooded vest with tiny cap sleeves at this point. I've got 3 hours until the kids get home, the laundry is done, the kitchen is clean, and I know what we're having for dinner, so I'm going to go plop down on the couch and see how far I can get before the school bus arrives.

So here's the "before" shot, how it looks about now, except that I've knit about another inch on the arms. This picture was taken in November 2007!
