What's on your needles?

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.

Well, I'm working on and off at the first of a pair of Express Lane socks using Wendy's Happy (bamboo mix yarn) in the Scorpio colourway. I cast it on in, er, February! I was making mini-sock-keyrings for about four months, though.

I'm trying to finish a Death-of-Rats doll, which actually involves very little knitting, just macrame and sewing-up.

My brain-not-needed knitting is A Recipe for Fish - I've learnt the pattern so I can almost knit them without thinking. Very useful for taking on the bus (etc), too.
