In Progress:

 Wild Lettuce Shawl: on the knitted on lace edging, but not yet at the midpoint
Twinface’s vest (restarted in smaller size) finished second skein at about 14”.
Temperature Blanket—caught up and having a week of single stripes as the weather varies wildly



Roving Rug #2—still using up the roving stash!





Eyeing..the owl post sweater...or another Agnes without pockets
