What's on your needles?

[pinesandmaples]

So what projects are getting your attention these days? (And I'm not talking about those shoved-in-the-back-of-your-knitting-bag-haven't-seen-the-light-of-day-in-months projects!)

The most active of my projects is this one...

Pattern: Wavy from Knitty
Yarn: Creatively Dyed Merino Twine (not on the website yet) in Jute
Thoughts: I'm really worried that this scarf is ugly because of the striping. Now, granted, that picture is lighter than the actual scarf which makes the striping more stark...but still. This is a gift for a friend moving to Prince Edward Island, CA, for vet school. I hope it's lovely and warm.

I'm also working on these socks, off and on...

Pattern: My own vanilla sock pattern, cobbled together to fit my feet.
Yarn: Spunky Eclectic Super Sport in Mud Season
Thoughts: I want to finish these SOON! I'm so tired of knitting them, and I'm ready to wear them!

Everything else I'm doing has been put on hold to power through that scarf. When I finish it, I'll go back to my sweater and my lace.

I think the sock colourway is gorgeous! yum yum.

I'm madly busy at the moment and stuggling to find time to knit, so I'm just working away at a candleflame shawl as a gift for a friend. It's quite pretty although there's something graceless about the whole "cast on three st at the end of the row" thing. I'm also wondering about knitting on an edging and then getting nervous at the very idea. What I really want to be knitting is a sweater, but I just don't have the time or energy to knit something so big right now.
