I didn't mention in my last post, but I am trying something new. I am doing a weekly update that has different sections. I am hoping that this will keep me focused by having specific topic areas. I am very happy with the progress that I have made this week. I have touched all 3 of my current projects. I do have multiple UFOs, but I will get to those one at a time. I am hopnig that these updates will help me to tackle all of the UFOs (not all at once) during the rest of the year.

- Made some progress on the test knit. I had to pause for a correction, but I am finally getting somewhere.
- Summer Mystery shawl is going very well. I had clue #2 finished the day after it was released.
- On the bird, I already have all of the little parts complete and have finally started on the body. Crocheting in black is pretty hard especially if you don't have enough light.
- I started working on another preemie hat in the STR Lemon Grass yarn. I am not sure if there is enough yarn left to do another, but I will try.
- Watching the back episodes of Round the Twist has me really wanting to cast on the Glynis socks by Cookie A. I am thinking of using one of my multicolor skeins.
- At the same time, if I cast on Hermione's Everyday socks this month, I can count it towards the SKA contest. Should I complete a pair for Hubby or do another pair intended for me? Do you always leave the frogs on your project list, or do you redo the project for the new item?
- I received one of the items I ordered last week. I finally got Witches Leggings from Fibernymph.
- I can't wait for Estes Park Wool Festival! It is coming very soon (06/11/2011). I have never gone to this event even though I have lived nearby for many years. This is the first year that it is actually working out for me to go. I wasn't going to try spinning out, but the more I have thought about it, the more I want to try it out. This will be good place to try this out and it will count for the contest listed below. Also, I hope I meet some of the people that I watch.
- Dramatic Knits - Summer Stash Down use tag DKSSD2011 for projects using stash yarn between 06/01/2011 and 09/01/2011 in order to count how many skeins of stash yarn were used. I don't have any hopes of getting the most skeins in this stash down.
- Knitmore Girls - is having a contest called three bites. This is their term for trying something new. It is all about trying something new for 3 times before deciding about it. Spindle Spinning here I come.
- Knitgrillls – is having a just because contest. I am getting so excited about the 5k Stash Dash!
