So let's take a look at those lists...
July goals:
- finish or close to finish the Kiss Me, I'm Irish
- figure out and work the Fish Kiss Lips heel on Keep Swimming
- swatch for the Waves Tank, then knit- cast on for the Tegna top,
- swatch the Vintersol sweater and the Rainbow Cardi
- finish the Beekeeper Cowl
- finish the Ventian Cowl (?)
- finish the Colourscape Cowl
- start kid gifts, bear sweater, elephant sweater, sheep hat, girl sweater
I have taken a few things off the list and added a few things to the goals list. I have four kids I need to make gifts for...two newborns and two - two year olds....I'm making sweaters for two of them, maybe three and a hat for the fourth one....we'll see....
I started two KAL/CAL...the four day Beekeeper one...this was my progress at the end of three days, so it's going to take longer than four...
Looky there I have a finish...I did finish the Sockhead hat for my friend Danae
Yarn is Peggyjane Fibers in Farewell
Needle: US 0 or 2.00 mm
So that is it for this week...and of course my crazy lists just keep getting longer....I hope to finish, at least the Colourwork Cowl this week...we'll see....

Around the World Afghan: (April 2010): about ¼ done - I looked at this recently and I'm still liking it, so I'll keep it...maybe make it a baby blanket instead.

Shark in the Woods (11/27/14)- I really love this, but it's a lot of cabling and I'm not a fan..about 1/2 done.
Vanilla fingerless mitts (12/25/15) - Think I'm going to frog and do different mitts or crochet them.
Zombie Vixen mitts (10/17/15)- why I may crochet the others...have these and still working on them, again cabling

I love how your beekeeper is the colour of honey. So sad about the sudden death of your friend's son- so very sad.
The hat is beautiful. The beekeeper is coming along nicely - four days seems ambitious for anyone that has other things to do!
Your WIPs look great, especially the Venetian Cowl.
So sorry about your friend's son....how awful to lose a child no matter what age. I've been watching the drama unfold in Thailand trying to get those young boys out of the cave. Those parent must be frantic.
LOve the sockhead....I've had that one on my list for several years now. Beautiful yarn too. The cowl is gorgeous ...the 2nd project and again beautiful yarn. I think you got quite a bit done!
I love that hat!!

That Sockhead slouchy hat is really fun looking. I love the colors!
Such a pretty yarn for the Sockhead hat! You have a lucky friend.
Love the Sockhead Slouchy hat, such fun colours. You have achieved a lot this week.
Cool sock head hat. Your friend is very lucky to have you as a friend. You have some very nice WIPs going on. I think you got quite a bit accomplished this week.
The hat is lovely. Nice colorway. You sure have a very long project list. I never have any idea what I'm doing.
WOW....your list is fantastic, and did you forget you need to sleep sometime, lol LOve the look so far of your beekeeper KAL. I have many projects in the works, but have really been focused on just one.......sorta of switch for me.
I do the beekeeper cowl. I can't wait to see the finished project. Although how they think it's a four day project is beyond me. My list is always growing but that's a good thing right? Always on the lookout for new fun ideas!
Cute hat - I like it slouchy!
Baby knits should be fun! Sometimes I wish I had babies to knit for ;)
All your projects looks beautiful and colorful. Keep going:)
Great projects, and I really really love the colour of your 'Beekeeper' - so rich and gorgeous!
I like the yarn you used for that beanie. I'm thinking about joining up w/YOP again. It's marinating.
