Taking Stock, Part 3

What's still on the needles? Not much, actually. I finished a couple of small projects and frogged a couple of large ones, which leaves me with:

Fife. I AM SO EXCITED I AM ALMOST TO THE GUSSETS DEAR GOD WILL THIS NEVER END?

It's farther along than that now, but not by much. I started this in January of 2010 and am about 30% done. If I continue at this rate, it should be done in January 2020. I do plan on picking up the pace and hope to have it done by 2016. I like it enough to not frog it and tell myself that it's the perfect project for the next Knitting Olympics.

More recently (December of 2012), I cast on another Point Arena. The first Point Arena is large enough to wear over a sweatshirt, which is useful when you're working in a virtually unheated home office but it's not exactly flattering. This is much smaller so I can wear it in a virtually unheated company office. This is Berocco Vintage in Denim worked on US 4s.


The back is done and the front is about 1/2 done so the whole thing is 55% or 60% done. It's deadly dull to knit though so I'm rewarding myself with a break to do a small project. I think I'll do Kittiwake and a pair of mittens with the teal Scottish Fleet.
