Another drop off the blogosphere... but here I am again.

I do still exist, yes, though I seem to have done another of my random disappearing acts. =/

Truth be told, I haven't done a whole lot of knitting in the past several months. I miss it, and I'm hoping to get back to it now that things have changed around again at work.

I did just finish two pair of Bodacious Booties slippers (pattern by Dragonpine Designs, apparently available only at my local yarn shop), one in Iron Man colours for my wife and one in Captain America colours for me. And I'm working on socks for my wife in a gorgeous red-and-gold colourway that's very Iron Man-ish, too. The weather's warming up - it's sock knitting season.

I set myself a goal of 12 completed projects this year - one each month on average - to go along with my wife's 50 books project. So far I'm on track:

Completed:
  • Two amigurumi Cthulhu plushies
  • Two pair of Bodacious Booties slippers
  • One pair of 'Comfy Socks' (KnitPicks Comfy Fingering yarn)
Total: 5

In Progress:
  • The aforementioned Iron Man socks
  • A Baby Surprise Jacket for a dear friend's new little boy
  • A 'Pink Cardi' (being knitted in white yarn) for a co-worker's soon-to-arrive little girl
  • A brown knit cap with an eye on the back (don't ask)
  • Another amigurumi Cthulhu
Total: 5

On the list but not yet started:
  • Teal-and-black socks for my daughter
  • Mille Colori socks for my wife
Total: 2

Actually, since I have five completed and five more already in progress, I think I'm a little ahead of the game. The real question, here, though, is will I be able to finish them all? We shall see. =)
