to do

Had enough ta-da's for this week, so now it's time for some to-do's. I've got so many projects in finishing and planning stages (funny, not really anything on the needles!), that I need to take a moment to write them all down and get straight what order to tackle them all in.

  1. finish the co. of minimono & co.- why did I stop work on that hat with just one earflap to go?
  2. finish native - all those ends, ugh!
  3. start the boys' pipsqueak sweaters - yeah, I already started, but I'm waiting for the rest of the yarn
  4. start phildar top for next knitalong - I'm knitalong-less at the moment, oh no!
  5. finish the second giranimals jacket - in case I'm feeling industrious
  6. start working on the second bug sweater - in case I'm feeling really industrious
  7. stop obsessing about the ribby cardie - wash swatch to test yarn and then let it go until August
  8. and don't even think about cleo - you don't have the yarn for it, so don't even go there, girl!

(And here's what the other list makers won't tell you.)

#1 and #3 are strong contenders to finish. #2 is a real wildcard; she might get out of the starting gate alright, but could come up lame. Even money on #4 and #5. #6 has an outside chance given good conditions, but #7 and #8 are longshots. Anyone care to do a little wagering?

I'm puttin' my money down on #2. It's for your MOM, for goodness sakes! Bring it to Knitsmiths on the 20th and I'll keep you amused long enough to get those ends woven in. I know I should really put my money on the longshots, but I'm feelin like I should take a risk. ;)

Stay away from Suffolk Downs, lady. ;)

Aaah lists... I love making them and then not sticking to them! Think I'll have to revamp my to-do list. I think you should get cracking on something for the boys

I am betting you will want to start the cardi and not wait until August! Which reminds me, I gotta plan my yarn for the cardi.

Okay, my eyes are crossing: Why can I never find your email address easily? My fault, entirely. Have finished the ChicKami, thus the eyes-crossing part. Add me to the Green=Finished pile! You rock!
