I am so glad to be home and out of the one project duldrums. I was enjoying working on sooty mango, but since I got back and saw my stash I've been very excited about all the new projects I can start. A one project knitter I am not. And now, without any further ado, I present the new project parade.

First up, the leftovers.

Finishing up the boys' giranimals jackets reminded me that I had collected quite a few leftovers of the wool/alpaca yarn and was planning on making a fall vest for myself out of them. It's fall, so why not. And yes, phildar fillies, it is Phildar yarn! I've got leftovers in about five or six colors ranging from a half a skein to two skeins in each color, which means I'm going to try to put my need to order things aside and make random (gasp!) stripes. This is a big deal for me. And since I'm winging it with the stripes, I figure why not do the whole deal and wing it with the pattern. Instead of following a pattern, I'm going to try to copy the shaping of an old shell I have from a twinset I bought about 10 years ago. The cardigan is full of holes (I think the moths found it one summer) and is now in the garbage. And the poor little shell had an exciting, but miniturizing, dryer adventure a while back. Oops!

Stay tuned tomorrow for another new project and maybe even some actual knitting....
