Year of Projects: Week 29

Good afternoon!  Well I skipped last week, didn't even do a Wednesday post....not sure why, just didn't feel like it...well I wasn't feeling well at the beginning of the week, but better now...

So how am I doing on my goals?

July goals:
- finish or close to finish the Kiss Me, I'm Irish - nope, did put a couple more rows on each one..
- figure out and work the Fish Kiss Lips heel on Keep Swimming - well I looked at it, couldn't
   figure it out..
- swatch for the Waves Tank, then knit- cast on for the Tegna top,- nope
- swatch the Vintersol sweater and the Rainbow Cardi - nope

I do have a finish though!  I picked up my Multnomah and figured out where I was and finished it.  I did not get as many repeats as the pattern, but I'm happy with it....It is blocked, but not able to get a great picture of it...

This is on my porch swing....so I'll have to see about getting a better picture at some point....

So between finishing that and working on the Colourscape Cowl, this is what I spent the past two weeks on....
I think I got my sock knitting mojo back, helped by a new group on Facebook. So I think I'll be working on finishing some of those pairs...

Works In Progress:         
WIPS: Crochet:
Round Ripple: (Started 2006 (?) Aiden)-not sure he'd want this anymore, being a high school freshman and all, but I think I'll finish it for him. He is now a sophomore.
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.
Sunrise Sunset Afghan: this has been hibernating awhile, 6 squares done. I still love the look of this.
Tabard Tunic (NW Diss 2/1/14) - Haven't made a final decision on this yet.
