I was taking a tour through my Projects stash on Ravelry (username is Mikaiya, of course, feel free to friend me!). And I realized that the UFO count is really very scary. I don't even have everything IN Ravelry to count!
But here's the current sad state of affairs, and my goals for the month, before November hits and I rush off with my laptop for some mad writing time.
UFOs of Doom
- Pink Fuzz. It did not work as a length-wise scarf! Maybe I'll have more success the next time around. I'm going to knock this sucker out this weekend, or cry in the trying.
- Seraphim. She is not languishing, true, but I started this shawl in September! I aim to complete it and wear it by November 1. That means blocking. Darnit.
- MS3. This one is definitely in time out. Am I scared of doing the center pattern? Why have I not at least completed Clue 4 on the second half of the symmetrical shawl? I need to wake up on this one. My goal is to do Clue 4 by November 1.
- Trellis. I tried again to get going on this, but it was NOT an airplane project. I need room, and the fact that I'm working it on size 8 metal needles isn't just unusual. It's loud. I think this is not a difficult project at all, but I need to just start the fronts fresh (and the second sleeve, too). I'm thinking this will be a good project for immediately after Seraphim- knock it out and be done!
- Super Secret Project - over half done already. Eeeeh, I don't know on this one. I think I'll try and work on it the last few days of the month. Shouldn't take too long!
- Hanami stole. It's so purty, so very very purty. And I just couldn't get into it. I'm not frogging, oh no, but this is going on hold until post-holidays.
- Empire Line Cardigan. I finished the back, cast on for one front... and just can't make the effort. I loved knitting the back! It was easy and fun! I think this one is waiting until January.
- Sampler baby afghan. This is not hard. It's fun to knit. It's cute and portable. And I just started to hate it! Most of the hate seems to be because I didn't check sizes while knitting (I'm knitting with a different gauge yarn than is called for, but that's no excuse for having two identical squares be different lengths). It's not going to the baby it was meant for. I'm going to suck it up and finish it, someday. I promise, on my honor I will try, to pick it up the next time I hear someone is pregnant. But not before.
- Broadripple socks. Cute, just haven't felt like sock knitting.
- Manly socks. Endless miles of simple stockinette. One's already done! One to go. This is a priority for November, since it's simple and I can knit it on the metro when I'm not TYPING.
- Purple lace scarf. I was going to give this as a holiday gift this year. I still might- it's to be worked on in December.
- Sand baby sweater. Just needs to be finished! Someday.
- Molly Ringwald. Almost half done. I'd like it finished by May.
- Pastel baby blanket. This one can languish for all I care. It's fun and easy, but too big for the metro. Even if I did start it last November.
- Peach cable baby sweater. Eeeh, next spring.
- Baby Owl sweater. Another sad little one. I forgot which needles I used for the back, which makes it a bit tricky to knit the fronts and sleeves! I may (gasp) frog the whole thing and try again. Don't tell anyone.
So in order of approximate priority:
By November 1-
Re-do the Pink Fuzz.
Knit, bind off, and block Seraphim.
Finish Clue 4 (again) on MS3.
Finish re-knitting Trellis.
Finish Super Secret Project (I'm ok with this one falling off the radar until December- but it IS part of Socktoberfest).
By December 1-
Finish the Pink Broadripple Socks!
Knit the second Manly Sock.
By December 25-
Knit the purple lace scarf.
Finish the Super Secret Project.
Also, knit a Chullo and Convertible Mittens. Woo!

It is so nice to see someone with as many projects on the needles as I have....
