Finishing Frenzy

Happily after a busy weekend, I had no where I needed to be on Monday. My plan was to stay in comfy clothes and alternate with those pesky chores that make the world go round and reward myself with bouts of knitting. My goal... to finish and nearly finish projects close to the edge. I'm ready to start anew. I even cleared a few paper piles in the process and cleaned the kitchen after our Halloween party. (I cannot party like I used to, I actually fell asleep at 6pm the night after and slept 12 hours. That is something I haven't done since I was a teenager.)

Here's yet another Flap Happy Hat knit in Tahki Torino Bulky. It's a gift for one of the kids my daughter babysits for.
I finished a different version of the Lite Brite Sock, this one has a longer cuff.
I'm in the home stretch of my Kaleidoscope Crocheted Flower Scarf (the yarn is Artyarns Cashmere 1) by Artyarns. I blocked what I've crocheted so far. It's motivating me to finish it.
I started designing a neckwarmer using a skein of Plymouth Royal Cashmere from my Knit Together.
Here's Tilli Thomas Pure & Simple silk and disco lights from a trunk show at Knitting Central. I'm debating between two patterns from the Stitch Diva: a Simple Knitted Bodice pattern and the crocheted Hourglass Sweater pattern. I'm going to swatch them both.
