Long time no WIPS (well, at least not posted!) but here you are!
A couple dishcloths are done, so technically are FOs and no longer WIPs. The dishcloth KAL however, is still a WIP. I'm still not close to catching up, but I'm getting there. I'm determined to at least finish the year on time!! I like Summer Breeze (the one on the right) much better than Lacy Waterfalls (the one on the left). It knit up much more quickly, and took less pattern-following (better TV-watching knitting!) I actually finished it (Summer Breeze) in a single movie - and I'm not the world's fastest knitter, or even anywhere close! Can't see why it's called Summer Breeze however. Maybe because it's a breeze to knit up?
I've been slogging along on the baby blanket. I should have doubled the yarn, I think, but I think it still would have been many many tiny stitches to make a blanket. Since it's a nice gift, I wanted it to be really nice, so I'm just toughing it out, so to speak. It'll probably be a baby's-first-Christmas gift, since I didn't get as much knitting done this summer as I expected (crazy work schedule). Still, the little one will only be a few months old, so will still have plenty of time to enjoy it :)
Finally, I don't think I ever posted this project: my Liesel scarf. This was one of my Ravelympics projects. I finished it in time (my Ravelympics 'medal' is here too!) I then decided to rework the ends of the scarf, to add in some beading so that it would better match Odessa. So, I've new pictures as I re-block it. :) See all the little beads at the end?
PS - I did both Odessa and Liesel in TLC's Cara Mia, which I really like, actually. It's an angora/polyester/rayon blend. Surprisingly nice to work with! I'm very picky about my acrylic blends, and this one was one I wouldn't mind working with again :)
