Y2: Self-Imposed Year of Projects - Update #24

Hello and happy Sunday! It's been relatively boring in the Bay Area this past week. The temperature did stray into the upper-70s on Friday but it was mostly the same every day. I could really go for a thunderstorm right about now. I mean, where I'm from back in Wisconsin, thunderstorms often mean tornadoes...but I love a good thunderstorm. 

Anyway, we're not here to talk about my love of thunderstorms.......

We're heading into my twenty-fourth week of my second self-imposed Year of Projects :)

Do you see it?! I finished my Eat Your Monkey Socks last night :) Since I finished them last night, they haven't been washed, blocked, or photographed. I expect I can have that finished by Friday, just in time for a FO Friday post. I also finished another Petal Dishcloth (a mini-version of the other ones). I'm not bothering to add it just yet...well, maybe. I don't know. I think I have a project page for it...

Works-in-Progress (WIPs)

1. Freeport Vest: started March 7, 2013
2. Baby Surprise Jacket: started May 27, 2013
3. Traveling Vines Socks (Adult): started May 31, 2013

Because I've finished up my Monkey Socks, it means my WIP list is down to three...and none of them are anywhere close to being finished. Oh well. I spent some time working on both the BSJ and my Traveling Vines Socks this week but most of my knitting time was spent on finishing up the Monkey Socks. My Freeport Vest isn't on time out or anything but I just haven't worked on it. I think I really wanted to finish up my socks. 

Unfortunately, it means my WIP list is looking a bit thin and I'm pondering what to CO next. I have a feeling it's going to be something from the "Children's Items" list but I also have a few other things that I'm pondering. Anyone have a vote?

Anyway, it means my remaining lists look like this.......which, now that I'm looking again, seem a bit ambitious. ::sigh::

At some point, I need to start working on a project for the Doctor Who Swap I'm doing...but I'll have to keep that one secret. I haven't started it so it's not like I'm keeping it that secret.....

Anyway, I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! I should be back on Friday with some FO Friday love :)
