Summer project lineup...
I've kind of got a deadline project now: can I finish five socks between now and July 15? I think I need to finish Queen of Cups, and then get cracking on the Harry Potter sock yarn so it can be done by the movie premiere. I wonder if this would be a good opportunity to learn a couple of the architectures from New Pathways for Sock Knitters - they'd still kind of count as "plain", but at least I'd get to learn something new from the experience. I just haven't seen that many patterns that aren't Jaywalkers that look good in the wacky wacky sock yarn.
I also think it's time to take out Tradewinds again. I don't have a deadline for that, but it'll be a nice break from manic sock knitting.
And I need to get the edging done for my pants - ideally I'd like to crochet it, but I haven't found a lace trim that grabs me. Maybe one of the edgings from the Irish crochet book on antiquepatternlibrary.com? Maybe.
If I have time...conquer Fear Of Spinning. Use the baggie of "Beginner Wool" to try to make sock yarn; I know I've got plenty of extra of that. Dye it with Easter Egg dyes. Voila.
I'm putting the fish hat (needs some frogging to work another color in) and Hubby's scarf (I'll pick it up again in August so it'll be done by scarf season) on the back burner.
