WIP wednesday (a bit early)
i have so much on the needles that it's just insane. luckily, aside for trellis & vine, i'm not knitting to any deadlines.
::sock memories socks
i finished my first laburnum sock (from sensational knitted socks), but it was waaaay too tight. plus, after finishing it, i realized that this particular pattern wasn't a good fit with the yarn.
however, i did really like the way the yarn knit up in plain stockinette, so i'm making some simple socks with it instead.
::lotus blossom tank
i just cast on for this tonight and managed to make it through one repeat of the lace pattern.
::mystery stole
coming along, if a bit slowly. this really requires my full attention, so i'm not always able to work on it. i did manage to finish up clue 1 so far.
::trellis & vine (modified)
moving along. no pictures yet, but i'm about 8 inches into it so far.
::provincial waistcoat
the back and one front is finished. i'd like to be able to work on the other front this week, but i'm not sure if that will happen, since i'm not exactly in a rush to finish a vest made of 100% alpaca.
::gusseted floor cushion
i'm actually done with the knitting and nadine is seaming it up for me. there's only one more side panel to add and it will be done.

Comments:
Looks like good progress on a number of things. About how many projects would you say you like to have going at a given time?
As a general rule, I don't like to have more than three projects going at any given time. I like something simple (TV knitting), something challenging, and something portable.
You've been busy alright! :P I can't wait to see your finished Provincial Waistcoat.. I want to make this for myself so, so badly (I've even ordered the IK back issue), but I know that I have nothing that goes with it. I'd never wear it. I guess I'm just not a waistcoat kind of girl.
So I'm living out my waistcoat dreams through your blog. :P

I'm actually a bit worried that I might not wear it. Oh, and that it might be a bit too small. Eek! However, I keep telling myself that a good blocking and the button bands will take care of that.
Hi, I came here via your Waistcoat page on Ravelry. I just swatched for it and my gauge is totally off - but I was curious, since the ribbing pulls in so much, how did you measure the gauge? Did you stretch it slightly like it shows in the photo? there seems to be negative ease, but it's difficult to tell. Thanks!
