How exciting!  But when I clicked the link to my own page, I realized that all of my actual current projects weren&#8217;t even mentioned on my current projects list.  So, without further ado, here are my current projects:<\/p>\n<p>Clue #1 and the first 20 rows of Clue #2 of the <a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/crafts\/index.php?pid=74\">Mystery Stole #3<\/a>:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/ms3_0724.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/ms3_0724-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"320\" alt=\"ms3_0724.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s really hard to take a nice picture of unblocked lace, so excuse the lumpiness.  Maybe next time I&#8217;ll at least pin it out!<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/crafts\/index.php?pid=72\">Tango baby sweater<\/a>:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/tbs_lopsided.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/tbs_lopsided-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"316\" alt=\"tbs_lopsided.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThis poor sweater gave up its needles for the sake of the mystery stole, but I&#8217;m happy to report that I got another set in the mail today, so there&#8217;s hope for it yet!  Now if only there were knitting elves that would knit that ever-so-exciting second sleeve for me so it could actually get done before the baby outgrows it, that would be great!<\/p>\n<p>Carrie&#8217;s &#8220;summer&#8221; sweater, <a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/crafts\/index.php?pid=73\">Reid<\/a>:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/reid_progress.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/reid_progress-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" alt=\"reid_progress.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAhem.  Yes, I&#8217;m aware that summer is a good portion of the way done, and that Carrie is growing quickly, and that I made this a size that would fit her this year and most likely not next.  No, I don&#8217;t know what I was thinking.  I&#8217;m going to knit on in denial and trust that I can block it bigger if need be.<\/p>\n<p>Never fear, sockpal, <a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/crafts\/index.php?pid=25#lombardStreet\">lombard street sock #2<\/a> is ready for the heel turn:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/ls_socks_progress.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/ls_socks_progress-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" alt=\"ls_socks_progress.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nI&#8217;m working steadily past my second sock syndrome symptoms.  I have to admit, I still get a thrill out of each cable row, so it&#8217;s something of an encouragement to knit the other seven slightly-less-exciting rows in each repeat.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, here&#8217;s the tiny 20-yard skein of my <a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/crafts\/index.php?pid=71\">smooshy pink yarn<\/a>, all balled up and ready to be swatched:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/psy_littleball.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/crafts\/2007\/psy_littleball-thumb.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" alt=\"psy_littleball.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nCarrie was quite enchanted by my <a href=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/archives\/000466.php\">nostepinne<\/a>, I think because it&#8217;s such a fun word to say!<\/p>\n<p>Whew!
