Presenting...
da da dah….
I’ve FINISHED 
Two baby sweaters all ready to be bundled up and sent off to Feed the Children (Daisy – will it be a double gold for Team GB Charity Jumpers?)
In the end I didn’t have the copious extra time I was bragging about last weekend (I’d forgotten how much going-to-work eats into knitting time – and although I do knit at lunch/break times – knitting in front of a class of 16/17 year-olds who are trying to avoid revising maths – hmmm – definitely not!)
And in case the list of my current WsIP isn’t enough for me:
1) Swatch (updated pic – yummmm – I love these greys).
2) Opal Rodeo socks
3) John’s Illusion scarf
4) A donkey
5) My mother’s Christmas present (another hat – hey, she returned the first one – she can wait 
)
and probably other things I’ve forgotten about.
I’m also planning on
a) Sockapalooza socks
b) Learning entrelac
c) A jumper for John (almost designed – I really want to get started on it, if only to stop me changing my mind about how to do it).
d) An alpaca sweater/cardigan for me
e) A hat for Adam
not to mention all the wierd and wacky things I found in Unexpected Knitting
So clearly I need a book on scarves – right? So it’s just as well that I ordered Scarf Style (no, I’m guessing I probably don’t need to add a link there – if you really haven’t heard of it, go look on Amazon… ) There’s scarves to love, and scarves to … not love – and even more ideas to play with.

Woot! Yay for you…and good on you for doing it all for charity.Kirsten () (link) - 27 February '06 - 08:12
Well done, Anne, and lucky recipients who will get those jumpers. They’re lovely! I’m very impressed with your WsIP and Planning to Do lists and I also love that grey yarn and am curious to know what it is??? If you like the Unexpected Knitting book, you may also like Alison Ellen’s “Handknitting – New Directions” but then, from your comment on my blog, I strongly suspect that you may already have your little beadies on that one!

Love the pink sweater. I also knit for Feed The Children but haven’t sent anything so far this year even though I have a few bits finished. Must get myself organised.~Sharon J
