Playing Catch up

I've gotten way behind in my posts, so this one is a catch-all for the past two weeks and I plan to get on track!

• First of all before I forget, Elizabeth, the book we talked about on Friday We Are Our Mothers' Daughters by Cokie Roberts. Awesome book, very empowering and a great book to give teens and young women.
• National Public Radio shows: "Car Talk", "This American Life", "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" also available in podcast free. I know you can download them from the itunes store if you have an ipod. Click this link for the homepage.
• Michelle got a wonderful knitting journal for her birthday, click here to check it out, Knitspiration Journal .
• Find fun socks here .

What's on your pointy sticks?

Here's what we were working in last week:

Michelle has got her next batch of projects well under way: Socks from the Knitting Central Sock Club, wonderful wallaby sweatshirt, men's knits cabled scarf, Rowan Couture Jacket - did I leave anything out?

Elizabeth picked up her dog afghan and was working on her sheep shop sweater. Even thought the dye lots are different on two of the skeins, they balance out nicely.

Robin is in the last panel of her baby blanket. Yeah! Then onto bigger and better things.

Mary's La Baguette bag is parked literally and figuratively in her car. :) She began a hat in Blue Sky organic cotton. She also found a great cotton to use in a Manos afghan pattern, Peruvian cotton (Patagonia cotton would work well too).

Danni is plowing through her poncho. The yarn runs thick and thin and has great texture. She got a lot of fringe ideas from the group, different yarns to add to the main yarn.

Sara finished the first sleeve of her husband's sweater and has started the second. She's almost at the ruffle for the baby blanket she's making as a gift.

Peggy is balancing several projects, she was working on the Oat Couture Stowaway bag this week.

I'm in the midst of finishing a pair of fingerless gloves with rabbit fur trim (a gift ~ pattern available soon), a knit sweatshirt (also a gift), my modern quilt wrap, and squares for the great American afghan. (This list does not include purses I've made that are pining away, awaiting to be finished - this involves sewing).
