Ah ha! Some orange/yellow yarn! I am missing a few skeins - the orange gifted by Jen, some yellow/orange green sock yarn from Knitpicks, and my blue/orange Midnight Knitter Vesper sock yarn.
Some of this will get knit up this month, but my first priority is finishing my Sockpal socks. However, this didn't stop me from getting knitter's ADD yesterday:
I am at the gusset on my pink socks (my least favorite part of course!), so I started the Inside Out Sweater from Knitscene (mine will not have pom poms hanging off of it!). I had to rip and reknit three times to get gauge, and by then my hands hurt from the cotton, so I worked on my sockpal socks, but didn't pay attention to the part of the pattern that tells you to move stitches after each repeat, so I had to rip back seven rows. It got put in time out for a while after that. So I worked on the sleeve for Chrysalis for a bit. And finally, that pretty yarn from Webs was screaming from the stash, so I calmed it down at bit - over half of the back of the V-neck sweater from the Yarn Girls Guide to Beyond the Basics (best picture I can find of the finished object is here).
So, with all this starting, did I finish anything off my list last month?
