I do love seeing what others are knitting and can always use some reading suggestions! Leave a comment so I can see what you're up to. And go over to Ginny's to see what others are up to.
On the needles :: I finally put all my projects into one basket and noticed that I have a fair few in the works. I'm sure not as many as some people have but for me...it's a lot. But I have a few new reasons to move some stuff off! I can finally put Mr. Wiedz's sweater back in the picture, 5 rows done this weekend. That's more than in the past few months so I was happy with progress. I finished my hat and my cowl. I'll post about those on their own when I have a chance to take pictures. I was working right along on #5's socks (they use size 1 needles, I confused some commenters last week) until he pulled all the needles out, I'm a little frustrated so I haven't tried to fix them yet. I cast on a hat (Soulemama's pattern) for my sister-in-law. And, I got the Big Book of Knitted Monsters
from the library so I could knit a monster for #5 for his birthday though #1 has requested making herself one...I have to start it for her.All that but while at my girls weekend with my mom she bought me Vintage Knits for Modern Babies
and I ordered a whole load of yarn from knitpicks.com. I have about 10 days until it arrives...then I'll be casting on projects I've been waiting on and some from the new book! I can't wait! Motivation for sure to get some of these projects done!On the nightstand :: I tried to stick with The Friday Night Knitting Club
but I really couldn't keep going. I read a fun post of Jessica's awhile back and she recommended Fablehaven
in the comments so I grabbed that when I had to run into the library real quick. So far a great book. Right up my ally. I'm really enjoying it and I think one that #2 would enjoy (he's my most difficult to find books for).

I love my book of knitted monsters! so many cute monsters! Can't wait to see yours :)
I give you credit for having all those projects going. Having more than two going at one time gets me batty. ;-)
Oopsies! I didn't know that it was a single photo with a single read...I think I kind of blew it this week then! I'm itching to knit a little monster thinking my son-in-law might like one for his desk. I think he has a bit of a reputation at work (sigh).
I love the photo of all of the projects-so pretty! I am glad that you finally got time to go back to your sweater.
I've had the knitted monsters book for a while and haven't done any yet. But they are so cute! And you can use any yarn at all! I really should knock some out for Christmas this year.
Yeah, that's some serious knitting you've got going on there! My little scarf and I feel decidedly under-ambitious. :)
