Crafting ADD

Here is another sign of my inability to finish anything. I now have 4 projects on needles, but maybe I will finish one soon. (wishful thinking) This is my progress on an Anthropologie-inspired capelet that I found here http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=62184.0 All I have to do is add the ribbing on the bottom and around the arms. It is my first attempt at something with sleeves and so far so good. I am not very happy with the ribbing around the neck, but that might have something to do with my discovery in the last two rows that I have been knitting with different sized needles. How in the world can a person knit for that long with one 10.5 and one 11 needle? Well, it can obviously be done and here is the result!

Time Flies...

I can't believe it has been so long since my last post, but I haven't been sitting around doing nothing...really! I have been putting some time into the ponchette I started and I am happy with the way it is looking, but I am starting to have serious doubts about the size. I keep measuring the gauge and it seems to be right on, but that might mean I need a gauge tutorial. Could it possibly grow as much as it needs to with blocking?

Oh well, if it comes out too small, that is what 7 year old daughters are for. She is actually hoping it will be too small for me so she can have it. I am going to just keep on keeping on and it will eventually work for one of us!
