2011 - the year of Five

Well, it's February and thus far this year I have successfully kept only five projects on the needles at any one time. I won't cast on (or pull from that sad, sorry pile of UFO's) until something comes off.

I'm currently working on a preemie size ribbon baby blanket in a pale, sunny yellow. I'm on the downhill side now, decreasing every row. And I need to get it done soon so I can start on the Mermaid Gloves for my BBF C3. The blanket is a fun to knit; it's garter stitch and started on a diagonal. The ribbon isn't as tricky to work with as I thought it would be. The twists seem to work themselves out with just an occasional untwist from me.

So what are my February Five? Besides the blanket, I have a preemie baby wrap (kimono) that needs a neck band and sew up (ugh!). I'm working on a sweater for myself in a lovely gradual green to blue color change. The sweater is called Elsewhere, the wool is KnitPicks Chroma. I've cast off my Snowy Daze Shalom, but need buttons before I can really say it's done. I have a bulky purple Moshup on the needles as well.
