- a scarf, using Bernat Boa (in Mocking Bird) and some real vintage yarn that came in a bag of scraps my grandmother gave me years ago - it needs another few inches (depending on how long the vintage yarn holds out) and a fringe;
- a poncho, using Red Heart Cozy wool (in Paprika - think tomato soup red) - I started it last night while doing the Girl's Night In thing at a friend's place. So far, so good, but I need to get longer circular needles because I'm running out of room on the current set;
- QaF socks, in Paton's Kroy - still working on the cuff of the first sock;
- a purse/shoulder bag using some unknown scraps I picked up in remnant bins at a few places - I've finished the shoulder strap using a yarn that's a blend of nylon ribbon, mohair, and lace (it's a bitch to knit with, but looks kind of funky when done up). The bag itself will be made with a medium-grey chunky wool, of which there is almost a full ball, but we'll see how far it goes;
- trying to finish a halter top I started for my sister a year ago, but had to add a back. I don't know what kind of yarn it is because there's hardly any yarn left (yikes!) and there aren't any labels in the bag.
