Narrowing down the UFO pile

So, I got the Dove Vest finished and delivered.  It’s pretty, but not something I’d wear myself.  I loved the stitch pattern though, so I’m kind of toying with the idea of trying to modify the pattern to better flatter my shape.  I probably won’t act on that thought, but I wouldn’t be opposed to making this up for someone as a gift…now to find the friend that actually has the right figure for this.

I also finished my stash buster kitchen towel.  I even got it washed and put away with my other kitchen towels, so it is now ready for a true test.

I’ve got one baby blanket waiting to be mailed off and another waiting for the baby shower.  Thankfully, both are finished and one even got washed!

So, at this point, I’ve down to three projects that I really should finish before starting something new.  One is the Spanish Moss Coat that I’ve been working on forever!  I really should focus my attention on that, since it will be perfect once spring really does start.  I currently have the back finished, one side of the front, and half of the other side.  There is still a lot to do, since the assembled coat also gets a knitted edge, but if I quit getting distracted by other projects, there’s still hope.

I am very close to having the Veronica sweater finished.  It still needs the clasps sewn on; that sort of got put on hold as I tried to race through the Dove Vest and then a major sewing project, but I should be able to get that done as soon as I have an evening free this week.

Finally, I frogged my one Ambrosia sock and started knitting the yarn into a Mojo sock.  It’s not that I didn’t like the Ambrosia pattern–I just didn’t like it with that yarn nor did I like the modifications I made to it.  (While the mods looked fine on a flat sock, they did not look fine on my fat calf.  I ended up with saggy socks that were that annoying “almost” knee length.  So sad.)  So, while it kills me to have all that leftover yarn, I’m sticking with a shorter sock length this time.
