There was a brief discussion on one of the Ravelry boards about whether it is a good thing to frog (rip back) unfinished projects that are hibernating. I had just frogged the two single socks that I mentioned before and I said I thought doing this releases creative energy. Well, I must have actually meant what I said!
Red socks: done and on my feet as I type (but not with my feet).
New pair of socks in Trekking (plain, Dawn!): started.
Languishing scarf for Thomas in his old school colours: picked up, being knitted and due to be presented at Christmas (I am knitting this in secret).
Aran for my brother: sleeve nearly finished. I realise it won't be possible to finish this for Christmas (even if I hadn't picked up the husband scarf) and so I will present it with one completed sleeve and then I will be able to assess whether I have got all the measurements right.
'Pretty Thing' by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee: a Christmas present for one sister-in-law under way in cashmere that I dyed myself in the summer. I can't link to Ravelry just at the moment - it seems to be down - but the pattern is up there. It's a very pretty little lacy cowl and I'm loving knitting it.
Ideas for hats, tea cosies, gloves and mittens: circulating in my head but being resisted just for a little bit longer.
