WIP Wednesday - There seems to be a theme here.

My current projects, presented in a list of sort of crappy rainy day photographs for WIP Wednesdays at Tami's Amis:

My niece's Falling Leaves Hat is over halfway done.  This one stalled when I realized it may be too small and I may have to re-knit part of it.  The fact that her birthday is in a few days is lighting a fire under my butt today.



My Whippoorwill is right about at the halfway mark.  It stalled out when I realized I didn't care for the contrast color I  originally chose.  



Luckily, that will be remedied soon as I found this gorgeous Madelinetosh yarn that goes with it perfectly:










My MIL's Emily cardigan is just past the halfway point.  It stalled out when I got to the point in the pattern where I needed to bind off the shoulder seams.  I will get over the seaming hump soon because I will have all of Saturday to work on it when my guys are mushroom hunting.

My Harvest Moon cardigan is almost to the halfway point.  I could not resist getting started on it after blogging about wanting to knit with this brightly colored yarn on Sunday.  It's not really stalled out but I need to get back to gift knitting. 


So, for awhile there I made a really good attempt at being a semi-monogamous knitter.  I really, really tried.  But sometimes a knitter just has to cast on!

    Beautiful projects. What a fun variety of shapes, styles & colours!
    I'm excited to see what your Whippoorwill looks like with the contrast colour added in.

    Everything looks so pretty on this gloomy day! I just got released from jury duty and let me tell you.....I'm feeling ready to cast on something new! Thanks (or not) for the multi-project inspiration!

    Many bright colors to color the day happy! I especially like the colorway of the Harvest Moon cardi. Nice assortment, Shannon. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Do a three needle bind off instead of binding off and seaming. Much easier! Love the colors of everything.

    What a gorgeous color for your Harvest Moon. Hope you can find the time to work on it in between the other projects. Great choice of contrast color for the Whippoorwill.

    I can't help but have a lot of projects on at once, but you have even more than I do! I LOVE that hat, I've added it to my queue. Also, the orange colour of the jumper is beautiful!

    Mmm, that Harvest Moon is looking even better than I imagined when you first mentioned it. Such good colours!

    Love the contrast you chose for the Whipporwill, too.
