Wednesday WIP Report

I worked on the Mystery Stole for the past couple of days and I've been having so much fun. I'm at row 79 now and can I say, I finally get the appeal of lace! I was zipping along swimmingly until I got to row 57 and then I hit the fatigue level. I tinked it back about 8 times but finally got it right. Oh, and I put in a couple of lifelines too. I actually remembered. I am so dang proud of myself.

Since I’m working on MS3 and it’s neither portable nor easy to work on in a busy setting, I worked on the Drop Stitch Lace Tank at Sweetie Girl’s swim lesson. It continues to be a fun, yet mindless, project that I’m still enjoying.

Summer Knitting Goals
Checking in on my Summer Knitting Goals, here’s what the scorecard looks like so far:

1. CPH – Done!
2. Lace shawl – The Flower Basket Shawl was pre-empted by the Mystery Stole. When I was writing this, I had thought I had specifically chosen FBS. Now that I see my goal is a more generic lace shawl, I'm pretty darn happy that I'm working on this goal too. I’m still hoping to get to FBS, but now there is not quite as much pressure. Whew!
3. Dropped Stitch Lace Tank from Fitted Knits – OTN
   
4. Socks – Finish two pairs of socks for June and July. Well, I guess I kind of fell down on this goal. I have one pair, my Sockapalooza Pal's, done, and one Feather and Fan sock done, but I didn't complete a pair in June. I'm shooting to have both pairs done by the end of July, just to be kind of crazy.
   
5. Wobbly Tote – I haven’t even touched it but maybe when I finish DSLT? Okay, realistically, when EVERYTHING ELSE on the list is done, I’ll have to pull that one out. I can tell now that this is one’s gonna kill me. But I will get it done. As god is my witness... I will never eat another potato again. Oops, fugue into the wrong scene. Sorry.
6. Pink fluff – Done!

It's been a little over one month since I set those Summer Knitting Goals, and I'm pleased with my progress. Where are you on your goals?

Have a great 4th for those of you who celebrate it!
