I now have several "almost done" knitting projects. My travelling woman shawl is actually in the bind-off row BUT...I'm going to have to frog a row or 2 because I've dropped a couple of stitches ::swears under breath::. I'm starting to think this poor shawl is never going to be done!
My corset-t, which has been languishing for nearly 2 years has been getting some action (oh, wait, that doesn't sound quite right!) lately. The first dozen or so rows of the corset-t is pretty fun. After that, it's k2p2 the whole way. While it looks good and will probably fit well, it is B..O..R..I..N..G. I've taken to keeping the project in my car so I can take it with me whenever I'm somewhere that I'll have some waiting or down time (doctors, dentist, choir practice, etc.) This may get done in my lifetime, I just hope I still want to wear it when it's done.
The moderne log cabin blanket I'm making for my son's girlfriend is about 90 rows from completion. I'll probably run out of yarn before then, so I think I'll just stop knitting when I'm out of yarn. I have enough of one of the colors not in the last block to do a quick border, I think.
My oldest child and only daughter got married last June. I started a reversible cable afghan for her and her husband...I really want it to be done by their first anniversary!!!
Lastly, I'm working on a birds nest shawl for my BFF. It's a rectangular shawl that's knit along the long side. The good news: there are only 150 or so rows. The bad news: each row is about 4 bajillion stitches! I'm going to Belgium to visit her this weekend, so I'll take the shawl with me and work on it a bit while I'm there. The yarn I'm using for the shawl is Bristol Yarn Gallery's Buckingham which is a silk / baby alpaca blend which feels heavenly.
If I find any good yarn shops in Brussels, I'll post them here!
