So I decided to have a reality check and make note of what I am currently and activley working on. Any random scarfs I started or even socks don't count as they are basically learning items and don't have to be finished!

Fitzgerald

Sence that picture I had nearly finished that sleeve, and had one more sleeve yet to do. Then I can seam and pick up for the neck. I may or may not pick Fitz back up before the Harry Potter scarf is done. However with my latest sock experimentation I have successfully picked up stitches which was good practice for Fitz.

Harry Potter Scarf

This is marrily on it's way and being worked on atleast every other night.

Turtle Toy
Last night I finished the underbelly, so now I just need to finish all the feet/head/tail and I can seam and be done! I would like to finish this one soon as it is a smaller project and shouldn't take to much longer.

On the back burner I have Dale Chamonix which I barely started last year.

After all the HP stockinette I think this project will go by quickly. I am just not allowed to touch that yarn just yet!

I also have the yarn for many other projects, but I won't worry about all that till others are finished!

Last night I ordered some Brilla so I could knit a Ribbed Silk Corset which I had gotten a long time ago.

Color: 114
58% Viscose, 42% Cotton, 121 yds
22 st = 4in or 10cm, US # 6 or 4.0 mm

I won't be allowed to start that for a while yet!

PS. I don't really hate socks, I just hate not being able to do something correctly!
PSS. No I never found out who came to my door sunday night.

From the "World of Knitted Toys" which i got a while ago after seeing someone else make the turtle, I decided to take a go at it. I'm not in the mood to attemp the other gloves, and at times I need a break from the HP!

It's just yummy looking, gawd I just adore Alpaca anything!

Yay! I did 3 day shipping cause the yarn was so low cost I didn't feel to guilty!! I was going to use the same addi's that I have the hat on, but I don't like how short the needle is on the super short length addi's. So I may have to get some Crystal Palace Needles.

I also forgot that joining yarn in the round can be bad business so now there is a wee little hole in the hat! :(

This is such a fun knit! Lets all pray I don't screw it up so it doesn't wind up in UFO land...

Well the popular diagonal scarf that has been floating around blog land is now mine to make! We can afford nicer yarn when we don't have to buy patterns, eh?
