Year of Projects: Week 2

So I finished a second P_ssyhat, this one I will be donating to the march. 

The darker, smaller one is for me and made for my head....

 I have started my Slopes sweater, which was always going to be a WIP this year....it may be my Rhinebeck sweater for the fall....as it'll probably take me that long...

The yarn is a very hardy yarn from Bartlett Yarns...I'm not sure which kind it is...as they don't have labels and it's hard to tell by the website.  The yellow has shots of color throughout.  This is the first sleeve.

I did get some metal needles for the bulky cowl and have added a few more rows....

I also got to the fourth color on my Warm Neck cowl...my mindless knit...

I will be adding WIPs throughout the year, as there are several things I have the yarn to make...or ordered...cough...cough..my "throwback poncho," but I do want to #Wipthewipsin2017...I am trying really hard NOT to fall into the Find My Fade rabbit hole....I do not do well with KAL/CALs and I don't need to start another shawl...but I want to join and be one of the COOL KIDS!!!!!

But, most of you have seen my previous WIPs in Mind list....and well, I really do not need to add another shawl to it....but there is some MadTosh that keeps calling my name about it!...sigh...

If anyone would like to join in...here is the Ravelry group

2017 Finishes:
1/7/2016 P_ssyhat for donation


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.

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.

 
Knit:
Learn to Knit Afghan: (started 2010): 3 squares done, I put this in the giveaway yarn bags..not thrilled with colors....will use squares at school for water bottles..
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
Garter Path Shawlette (5/30/16)- I have frogged this a couple of times...

Swinging with Winkle (6/4/16)- I love this so much!  Just need to finish it!

Meandering Top (5/20/16) - Totally forgot about this...could get it done to wear in spring...I think I was debating whether to do the bottom ruffle...it's not a good placement for me...

Multnomah (8/21/16)- hmm, love the pattern and color will match just about anything...
Warm Neck (8/2/16)- almost done...this was my go-to mindless project, so need to get back to it..

Bulky Cowl - this hurts my hands to work on...think I need slippery needles...
Slopes Sweater- (1/1/17) 

Socks:
Kai-Mei: (April 2012) - has not changed, did not take new picture
Johnny's Socks (Jan 2013) - I've tried making these...too much for me...think I'll frog and use the Zauberball for something else...

Carlos and Arne socks (July 3 2015)- using a 9" needle...keep losing stitches.

Espalier Socks (Jan 10, 2016) - started and stopped...

Live Long and Prosper (4/14/16) - have to finish!

Spring is in the Air (2/16/16)- I love these, need to finish them!

Autumn Zombie- closest sock project to finish..

Vermont Zaubers - want to work on these

 
Scarves/Shawls:
Splashy Flowers: (May 2011) - add a motif scarf, don't see that being finished soon...
Light in Shadows (1/14/14) - I love this so much...need to start the new direction, so need to sit down and figure it out..

Willow Fields (9/6/14) - ran out of yarn, waiting on yarn 
My Shelly Valentine (2/10/16) - should finish for this year's Valentine's Day

 
Bags:
Beach Bag: (started May 2010)  Just needs lining sewn in, I used it this year without the lining...so may just call it a day on this....

 KAL/CALs:
Fire and Blood (5/4/14) - not anytime soon

Outlander MKAL (8/8/14)  - possibility of finishing this..the yarn is so yummy

 
Misc:
Sunflower: (August 2012) Need a back and to felt 

YOP #32

I actually have only worked on a few things this week.  I made some gauntlet gloves to go with my Katniss cowl...

I worked on my Raindow Wings...I have started the ninth wedge....

Put some more rows into the Lanesplitter...

And started another KAL...I did not do well on the GoT KAL, as I ended up having to make some things for swaps, so I put it aside after the first clue...I printed out the second clue and will continue with it...it is at this point..

It also was a bit complicated for me...the new KAL is much easier...and I ADORE the yarn..next clue comes out next Saturday..

I also started a pair of mitts for a swap...I have one more swap to make something for..but haven't decided on the what yet...

YOP: Week #31

Sadly, did not finish anything this week.....but I did work on a few things...

I continue to work on Rainbow Wings...see here is my dilemma...I'm on the 8th wedge, most are made with 8 wedges...however, since I had to buy an addition skein (I must admit I've become a loose knitter), I can add several more wedges...so I'm thinking I will...to make it wider.....I'm loving it so much...and I just want to be able to wrap myself up in it...this is where it stands..with a few more rows in the last wedge (it's really a quite simple pattern, Wingspan)

I also worked on socks, my Kai-Mei, making it through two more pattern repeats...and my Vanilla Latte....

I haven't worked on my dissertation, the Lanesplitter skirt, since earlier in the week..but need to get back to that....but I did add a couple of rows to my last dissertation...I have the sleeves to finish and the belt...then to sew it together....

How has your week been?

YOP: Week 17

Whenever I finish a big project, I take a couple days to rest....so after finishing Green Spring, I really didn't work on much....But I still needed some projects for this round of Nerd Wars....so I made a striped cotton baby hat and a daffodil....I also started another baby hat last night....but it needs some finishing....and I did another round of the Plum Pudding....I do not have project pages for these yet...or pictures of the daffodil..

The orange wrap I worked on last week is made of a thick cotton and hurty to the hands after awhile, so I need to work on that in small doses....a did another row during the week...

But I spent most of my week blogging and reading blogs for Knit and Crochet Blog Week...I have been a part of this since the beginning..and it's a ton of fun...
