UnFinished Objects otherwise known as UFO's

Ok here is the run down of what I have in my UFO pile.

Charm Wrap Sweater
Cardigan
Garden wrap Shawl
Dark Mark Scarf
Fingerless Mittens
Malabrigo Scarf for Husband

So that would be 6 projects. I was convinced that I had many many more sitting around here. In all reality what happens is that I have a bunch of things that I want to knit that have not been cast on to any needles. That's a good thing. I managed to get almost all of my stuff organized and up on Ravelry. It really makes a difference for me when I can make notes online and then look back later and see what I was going to use the yarn for.

Right now I have been working on the Malabrigo scarf as it's pretty chilly around here lately. I would like to finish it this weekend so that's my goal. We will be down to Toddler girl for at least 24 hours as Big Girl is going to Nana's house. So that will increase my knitting time greatly. I also want to get the rest of my stash up on Ravelry but I ran out of free space on Flickr.

I have a ton of other projects that I want to add on to my needles. I got a call yesterday from someone that I gave a Christmas gift to. She wants more of the fingerless mitts I made. At least 3-5 more pairs!!! On top of that I have a friend that is due in April with a baby girl and I really need to get to making her some booties and a few hats. Baby stuff knits up super fast just a couple of hours and is a great stash buster for me.

On a side note..... While I was getting all of my skeins and things organized I had them in nice heavy shopping bags. Husband walks in and is just stunned. Wants to know what all of it is and if it's going to start taking over the house. Now I only had out 2 large shopping bags. I had to explain that I was organizing and getting it all put away so that I could have a better handle on what I have. He just stood there speechless. Little does he know that there are at least 5 more bags just like it!!! Not that he really cares as it keeps me occupied and not interrupting him in the evenings as I knit and he watches tv. Just amusing though. Someday I will take him into the spare bedroom/crafting room and show him just how much we have. Some day........

Well off to make some breakfast and then teach........

Happy knitting
