First is my Marseilles Pullover from the Summer 2006 Interweave Knits (timely AND seasonal!) It's actually not a summer sweater though, it's a long-sleeved pullover in Cascade 220 wool. I began in December, but had a minor setback when, several inches into it, I noticed a mistake a couple of inches back. I considered just leaving it, but ultimately knew it would bother me so I ripped back and fixed it. I'm glad I did! I'm happy with it so far, but it's slow going.
Next is the Pomatomus sock from Knitty.com, which I'm knitting as part of the January Sockdown on Ravelry. I cast on back on New Year's Day and to qualify I must finish the pair by the end of February. I'm certainly on track to do so, and if I fall behind, well, I'm on vacation the last week of February and have no other plans. I've actually made a decent amount of progress since this photo was taken - I just finished the gusset decreases.
Last but not least is the neckwarmer I'm making from Knitpicks Decadence. Here is the last progress shot I took:
Soon thereafter, I decided that the stitch pattern was inappropriate for such a lovely drapy yarn and resolved to frog it. When I sat down yesterday to rip it out, I instead found myself finishing it. It's blocking right now, which I think will relax it a bit and I'll feel better about the yarn/pattern combination. I didn't use a real pattern for this, just a stitch pattern from a Barbara Walker treasury. When I post the finished project sometime in the next week or so, I'll include my instructions in case anyone else wants to make it.
