I am knitting this https://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring09/PATThanne.php
Not exactly mind boggling but have had the pattern for ages and have been meaning to try it.

and a waistcoat in a nice dk, that I just need to do the last armhole welt on. and sew up.

I have sock wool then to make socks from !

and some cream merino for another shawl....

I'm not. I'm marking. Far less relaxing.

I'm gardening. There is never room in my life for both, so they have to be seasonal. There is a pair of French press felted slippers on the needles (why do I never start gardening at the end of a project?!)

Not knitting atm, I'm crocheting instead. Almost finished the front/back of a heavyweight multicoloured jumper in case of cold next winter!! and it's using up the "too small to make whole things with" part of the stash. So just the arms to go - but gardening things keep winning on priority

Ooh, I totally forgot about my blanket squares, I've got a bit bored with the scarf, maybe I should go back to squares for a bit.
