One cardigan, (main work atm) one jumper (for about the last two years :o), one set of needles with socks on (always have a pair of them on the go), one cowl (got stuck and lost the pattern...) and spinning wheel is working overdrive....

 A wrist warmer; a jumper from mill spun Heb from my own sheep mixed with alpaca - just started; a jumper for OH in New Lanark yarn, started last year and nearly finished - it is an Aran 'sampler' ie has several small patches of different Aran patterns dotted around and I can't think of the last one to do  ::); a shawl has just been cast off.

No I get bored easily so if I have a few projects I can move from one to the other and the boredom doesn't set in, they all get done in the same amount of time just the way I like to do things. Just found a jumper I made for OH that I put away as I couldn't find my darning needle so will make that up tonight as well maybe 2 years late but better late than never.

A pink matinee jacket for my granddaughter due in December.  Also a waistcoat for me that is on hold until I've finished knitting for the baby  and will probably have to wait until I've knitted some wrist warmers and I want to knit scarves with pockets for my other two granddaughters for Christmas.

i love proper knitted jumpers - especially using home produced wool.  Used to knit in days gone by, but my days are caught up with such important matters as mucking out and feeding etc now.  Need a few extra hours in the day.

This is the only time of year I get to sit down and do some knittin' .    The early dark evenings do have some benefits  :thumbsup:

I've just started turning the heel on the first sock now - this is my first attempt so fingers (or maybe toes) crossed  ;D
