End of October

Linen Stitch Scarf - In Progress, about 25% done. Done!
Man Beanie Hat (for Warren) - Garter Stripe Beanie w/Brown Sheep sport (finally getting to use these, 3..? years after buying them!) for the garter part and the brown New Zealand vintage wool for MC; Last minute decision to do the "Turn a Square" hat instead. Still using the vintage NZ wool (it's got mohair in it as well, I forgot!), but for stripe colors I'm using WOTA in "carrot" and Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride in "autumn gold". I started this on Saturday (two days ago) and I'm about 50% done. Done!
Commissioned Linen Stitch Scarf - Using three colors of Ultra Alpaca. I'm forcing myself to slog through this, and am now about 45% done.
Alpaca Mittens (for mom) - Dashing? or Fetching? with the white/purple alpaca from Elann.com. These need to be done by the time she gets here a week before Thanksgiving. Ended up using the Nalu Mitts pattern (free on Rav!) and LOVED it. Started and finished these already, and I even wore them to work today. So lovely! Ended up using the Elann Alpaca in a soft cream color. Done!
Alpaca Mittens (for me) - Susie's Reading Mitts? I ordered some Ultra Alpaca in two shades of green for these and want to make some simple stripey mitts. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Market Bag - Everlasting Bagstopper (IV!), they actually opened a Hobby Lobby in my city (the closest previously was about 2000mi away), and Hobby Lobby has the best. cotton. yarn. ever. So I picked up a new skein to make this with.. I just need to finish that stupid scarf first so I can use my size 10 circs.
Linen Stitch Scarf (for me) - unsure of yarn.. this will need to be planned out later. I want it to be colorful! I am definitely going to try to use up all my Ultra Alpaca left overs.. as I'll have variegated gray, regular gray, black, navy blue, and two shades of green. Think I'll also pull out my leftovers baggie and see what else is in there..

Commissioned Linen Stitch Scarf - ugh. So, my first linen stitch scarf was so awesome that I got about a DOZEN requests to make more, but one person offered to pay me to do it. Alright. So now I'm working on that, and while I'm not super-stoked about making other people stuff, I get a small amount of yarn and cash out of the deal. Using three colors of Ultra Alpaca. Started this a few days ago and I'm about 15% done.
Alpaca Mittens (for mom) - Dashing? or Fetching? with the white/purple alpaca from Elann.com. These need to be done by the time she gets here a week before Thanksgiving.
Alpaca Mittens (for me) - Susie's Reading Mitts. I was going to use KP Andean Silk for this but I really am not liking that. Back to the drawing board.
Market Bag (for Magen) - Everlasting Bagstopper (IV!) w/whatever cotton I have laying around.. I think I have a skein or two of KP CotLin and some random Omega Sinfonia/Plymouth Fantasy.. If possible I'd like to have this done for Christmas.

Alpaca Mittens (for me) - Susie's Reading Mitts w/KP Andean Silk (I have four skeins, three colors, and it looks like it will take me about a skein and a half.. so I'll need to figure that out..)

Rest of the Year

I never update this blog anymore. I'm still knitting (not nearly as much as I used to, but w/e). I need a priority list of things to work on in the soon to be future.

Linen Stitch Scarf - In Progress, about 25% done.
Alpaca Mittens (for me) - Susie's Reading Mitts w/KP Andean Silk (I have four skeins, three colors, and it looks like it will take me about a skein and a half.. so I'll need to figure that out..)
Alpaca Mittens (for mom) - Dashing? or Fetching? with the white/purple alpaca from Elann.com
Man Beanie Hat (for Warren) - Garter Stripe Beanie w/Brown Sheep sport (finally getting to use these, 3..? years after buying them!) for the garter part and the brown New Zealand vintage wool for MC
Market Bag (for Magen) - Everlasting Bagstopper (IV!) w/whatever cotton I have laying around.. I think I have a skein or two of KP CotLin and some random Omega Sinfonia/Plymouth Fantasy..
Linen Stitch Scarf (for me), unsure of yarn.. this will need to be planned out later. I want it to be colorful!

I think I have all of the yarn for all of these, but I MAY need to pick up some new yarn for my mittens. I'd like to get these all done by the end of the year, it seems doable.
