First: Koigu minis, crappily photographed.
Next, Tatiana mittens, in progress.
There are more pieces parts yet to do on these. I have decided that they are not fun, although they are kind of cute. And my colorwork is not very even or smooth. Those problems are my fault for not being a perfect knitter.
And the pattern turns out fairly big and loose hands, but tight and short fingers, and there isn't enough give on the cuff to allow for the rolling tendency of stockinette stitch, and this means the pattern on the cuff doesn't show properly. Those problems are the pattern's fault for not being a very good pattern.
I will, however, finish them as planned, because I am compulsive, because I want to get rid of the yarn, and because the hardest part is over already.
Third, the decimal sweater. I have moved on the the second sleeve. When I have about fourteen inches of sleeve, I join all three pieces together and start working a raglan shoulder. I am starting to think this will not be done in time for warm weather.
Four, odds and ends. The Noro scarf is half done and is going to be rather short. I have turned the heel on the second Icehouse sock, so that's in the homestretch. The Stitch and Pitch squares are great mindless monkey knitting, so they are great for TV, or would be, if there were anything on.

Pretty, especially the minis!
First, you - NOT PERFECT? Cowabonga! Of course you are perfect. And getting more perfect in each and every way each and every day. If you don't believe this just ask the Man.
Nothing on? MHz Worldview has Aussie Rules football on Friday, or how about iCarly? Or what about Sports Center showing HR after HR as if defense is unimportant (which it obviously is not to some who argued Ortiz should be MVP even though he is a DH).
By the way when are Pelosi and company going to do something important and ban the DH?
I really do think your knitting is very good.
