What's in progress? Let me show you! Here's what I've been working on...
In Hand Knits:
On my double pointed needles, there's currently a second mitten!
This is the second mitten of red/white pair using my Rosita Mittens pattern from Knitscene Accessories, 2013. I think I managed to make a larger size by mistake. Oh well.
In Machine Knits:
I'm working on a cardigan design I'm temporarily calling "Mitered Detail Cardigan". I was doing all the calculations using the old-school methods you see below (tape measure, calculator, and pencil).
Here's the completed back piece of the cardigan.
In Sewing:
I made my first overlocked zip-pouch. This is one of three that's in progress. It's my test piece, and it will likely be the subject of a giveaway very soon. Who knew that boxed corners had to be so accurate?!
I used the Liberty Lifestyle fabric I wrote about earlier along with some other quilting cottons, fusible fleece, and a zipper from my zippers-on-a-roll. Can't wait to master the boxing of corners. What are you working on?

Here's the first mitered square done on the machine. It took a LOT of hand manipulation using a garter bar to move each row of stitches toward the center to create the centered double decrease, but it looks good.
