I have seen other people post their pictures of the finished blanket, and it's much bigger than mine. They must have had to get more of every color. Keep that in mind if you do this, especially if you buy the kit: if you knit loosely you will need more. Even if you don't, you might need more than one skein of each.
I also finished the Spatterdash mitts and ordered 30 buttons for them (they need 28). Obviously they still need to be blocked and have ends woven in, but they were fun.
I'm still working on the Gwendolyn shawl, but this winter my hands have been so dry that the lace-weight alpaca sticks to my fingers, catching on the dry skin, and now I have over 300 stitches on the needle so each row takes a long time, 20 minutes or more. For TV watching it's this scarf in $20 worth of cashmere, a simple feather and fan pattern.
But over the weekend I started the granny squares for a felted bag, and that has been fun due to all the color changes and the satisfaction of checking off each one as it was done. Not so fun has been sewing them all together and weaving in the ends, but one side is complete:
Which I expect will end up a lot smaller after felting. It gets a fabric lining and purchased handles. And then I can do something else with all of the leftover wool, like this pattern I finally bought.
So what is keeping you busy?
