Yep, it's some WIPs

How many work in progresses do you currently have ongoing?

I tend to only have a few that I am actually working on, but there are always a few around that are stopped in the middle and not being worked on. Sometimes a project just loses steam. That something special is missing from the item and I no longer have any desire to work on it.

I currently have 2 works in progress that I am actively working on—a clapotis and a cloud bolero.

The clapotis only needs a couple more decrease sections and it'll be done! The cloud bolero needs length and then I'm going to add some sleeves to it. I'll do full FO reports when they are complete.

I currently have 2 items that are works in progress that have not been touched in months upon months—a garter stitch baby blanket and tank top. The tank top just needs an edging around the neckline and it'll be done, and yet I don't do it...For some reason I have no desire to frog these items, but then again, I have no desire to actually work on them either. They are just stalled. Maybe one day I will return to them? At this point I just do not know…

you got a bandwagon?

Hello, is that a bandwagon? Well let me jump right on it! I am apparently such a huge freaking follower... I have jumped on several bandwagons started by famous knitbloggers recently. I have recently knit a couple of baby items that I only found because of my obsessive reading of knitblogs. These items are for a baby shower that is in October for a child of unknown sex of a friend of mine. (the pics are showing up kinda weird, click on them to see the whole picture. ok?)

First up, a mostly finished Ribbons Baby Blanket from Fibertrends. I found this from reading Grumperina's blog.



Pattern: Ribbons Baby Blanket
Yarn: Cotton-Ease by Lionbrand. About 1.5 balls of each color (white, popsical blue and candy blue).
Needles: US 7
Modifications: I didn't do the suggested method of joining in the new colors, therefore, I have a billion ends to weave in. This was a surprisingly fast knit. All together it was very easy as well. I would definitely make this again.



Here's my other follower of a knit. This one is a WIP, but is going so incredibly quickly! I got this one from reading the Yarn Harlot's Blog. It is obviously for the same baby as the blanket.



Pattern: Tulips, A Colorful Cardigan for Baby by Dream in Color.
Yarn: Cotton-Ease by Lionbrand. Leftovers from the above blanket. (white, popsical blue and candy blue).
Needles: US 7
Modifications: No modifications besides the yarn substitution. Another knit that is just flying by. I am making the second size which is for 12-18 month olds. I think this pattern is another keeper that will be made time and time again!



One last picture of another work in progress. I'll give the details later! It fits the theme though, I apparently do not have an original thought in my knitting mind..
