Still chugging along on hubby's sweater. It's knit pseudo-in-the-round - it's a cardigan, and will zip up the front, but I knit the sleeves, then joined them to the body and now it's just raglan decreases all the way around...forever. Or at least that's how it feels. I love the yarn though, so at least it's nice to work with!
I just finished plying my merino roving that I've been working on since...before we moved! It's a solid lavender, very pretty. I haven't skeined it yet, but I think I got some nice yardage on it. I had a little bit left over and plied it with the little bit of alpaca I had left from last year - it's a very pretty 25 yard skein. Maybe it will be a coffee sleeve? LOL, it has to be something small!
The rest of it will get skeined tonight or tomorrow, then I can take pics!
I've started a sock with the yarn that I bought at the Wool Gathering last fall...they are going to be beautiful!
Also managed to hem up 3 pair of hubby's holey jeans into shorts this morning. Definitely not as much fun as other sewing, but eh, had to be done. Now that that's done, I can cut out the other skirt I bought fabric for. Though I'm thinking about looking for another pattern - I love the other pattern that I've used, but I already have 2 skirts out of it, and am thinking a little variety might be nice. Just maybe :)
I still need to tread Toby's slippers, and need to do a pair for hubby, Lucy, and myself.
It's also time to start thinking about Christmas knitting - I have a couple people in mind for handmade gifts this year :)

I have a little box in my room that says "Christmas 2010." It has two scarves in it. That is not going to cut it. I better get to work, too!
