What else did I work on? well I pulled out my Adele socks and got several more rows done...I'm at a point of, do I want to start the heel flap now?
I also worked a bit on my Irish Tea socks....they are toe up and already a bit big..and I'm suppose to increase for the special heel support...and I think they will just be too big...so they were set aside for the moment...
I also put in a couple rounds on my Capelet....it sits on the side of my bed in a pretty yarn bowl, asking to be worked on every day.....
And many more rows on my Hawk Batkus....almost to the halfway point, I believe...
Except for the Irish Tea, which is part of a challenge...I have successfully staved off the "must cast on/hook all the things" feeling....I've also been doing quite well on the yarn acquisition front..and resisting the urge to splurge.....
As I have no pictures of projects.....how about some creepy dolls? I went to a local indoor flea market yesterday looking for an old sock egg....found one...but also lots of creepy dolls....
And this was only half of the booth! See you next week.....
Projects in Mind - I have the pattern and the yarn - this list is remaining about the same...I could add a ton to it...but I'm not going to at the moment...I think when I move one of these projects to the WIP category, I will add another project to this list...I like seeing it all laid out..and it is not overwhelming to me..because it's my list and I can follow it or not!

I love porcelain dolls. I have quite a collection myself. SO I don't see them as creepy at all. Congrats on the 2 completed projects and your self control of not starting anything else new....yet.
I think it's the blank stare of the dolls that make them so creepy.
Years ago I went to a flea market that had a building dedicated to dolls, circus stuff and glass eyes. It creeped me out so much I had to leave the building.
Never did like clowns and this just made it all the worse. LOL
My SIL has an old roll she calls Scary Mary! She truly is hideous!!!
While I've found very little evidence that my grandmother was a knitter, one of the things I've found was her darning egg (I think I have two that were hers...maybe three). And they look well-used. My (new) one hasn't been used at all. I've not had to darn my socks yet. Someday, perhaps...
You have been busy. The dolls are creepy, I don't like the way they sit!!
Oh! I am so jealous of all the snow everyone is getting! We are barely even getting any rain here in "rainy" old Seattle. As I sit here with the sun shining and my jackets hanging lonely and forgotten in the cupboard I know I am supposed to be grateful for this mild weather, but I am a seasons girl-especially the older I get. I find snow and storms exciting so I really don't feel all that grateful. Our ski areas have already closed and they never really even go going, some of them. I am bracing myself for another unseasonable hot summer too... but anyways, enough whining about my weather. Congrats on the finishes and I am looking forward to seeing more of your socks!
xoxoxo
Well done on your finishes, that's great news! I'm jealous of the snow (slightly), we had one day of snow in February and that was it.
