It's the yarn I dyed after easter. It isn't nearly that bright. Think more muted. It's patons classic merino, one skein, which is 223 yards. I've decided I don't know what to make with it, and figure it would like a better home. You have until midnight on May 7th, that's this Wednesday. Cool? Cool. So yesterday, I had car issues. Let's just say that my car broke down (we STILL don't know why. It's fine today.) and I had to call AAA. Took them an hour to get there, and another half hour to hook it up. But it's ok because I'm halfway done with the heel of my sock now.
I also cast on for something else (anyone surprised?). I started the 5 hour baby sweater. I'm to the sleeves now. Ignore the weird color... 
See, that's the color of the yarn. But in order to get that I had to seriously mess with the picture and now my desk looks... muted. But oh well. I did start the Bronte's Mitts, but.. I didn't get so far with them. The size 6 dpns make it too big, but the 4's make the fabric weird so... I'm going to try the 5's I guess. Some day. :)
Don't forget to comment!!

I have a dishcloth on the needles at the moment, gramma's favorite I think is the pattern name, very simple. I'm using Cottontots yarn in a baby green.
Currently I'm working on the Jacque Cousteau hat by Typy -

I've been meaning to get this done for a while. I'm using
Filatura Di Crosa's Wave in a dark grey. I'll have pictures soon!
Several things, really. I've nearly finished the Baby Yoda Sweater (http://dogsstealyarn.com/yoda.htm), just started a Noro hat (http://floryknits.com/fp-norohat.html), and am in the middle of a tension square for a raglan sweater in Kon tiki yarn for my daughter.

*ahem* Let me go to Rav to check, because I can't remember off the top of my head. Okay:
1. FGF KAL Bronte's Mitts
2. Fruity Bag (making up pattern for a bag to carry fruit)
3. A variation of Noro striped scarf.
4. Dumber than Snake Mitts--need thumbs
5. Star Stitch Wallet
6. Danica scarf, except it's a bag.
7. A scarf-mitts thingy in a fluffy type yarn.
8. Eiffel
:D
Hmmm, I think I'll keep this list at a minimum. Of course, the Bronte mitts, but they're almost done. Two other fingerless gloves I'm knitting, mods from sock patterns. A scarf incorporating the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Another Chevron SCarf. DId I say I was gonna keep this short? LOL. Ok, I think that's enough for now.
And c'mon, get those Bronte's going :o)
I have the Lion Brand Cable Comfort Throw that I'm making for a wedding present, Zeeby's Bag from the Stich n Bitch book, and a pair of tube socks.
PS. Sorry about the double post. I screwed up the first time.
Hi Krystal! Right now I have a few things going.
1. Bronte's Mitts
2. Afternoon Tea Fingerless Gloves in crochet
3. Crocheted cable bag
4. dishcloth KAL
I think they will keep me busy for awhile. I just frogged the Bronte Mitts because I made a mistake in the lace pattern. My bag needs to be embroidered and lined. I'm almost done with one of the crocheted gloves. And I have today's rows to do for the dishcloth.
I'm happy to hear that your wrist is better so that you can do some knitting.
I only have one project on the needles right now - Thuja socks, modified to use fingering-weight yarn. I'm hoping to have them done for Mothers' Day.
I have a wool diaper soaker, #2 of a pair of socks, a baby blanket and a dinosaur on the needles. I obviously need to stop casting on projects if I ever want to finish anything.
I’m making a top down, short sleeved sweater out of cotton yarn, a pair of scrap fair isle socks, a crocheted scrap afghan that I’ve been making for months now, and a granny square cardigan for my mom, that I’ve been working off & on again since Oct. And I think that’s it, for the moment.
-Added by Krystal because blogger is mean and doesn't let some people comment. :)
I just cast on an Icarus shawl, and I've also got a mindless stockinette sock on the needles for when I'm watching the kids. Great dyeing job!
Right now I've only got one thing going, a sweater I'd really like to finish someday. Someday. Someday.
Congrats on the 100th post. I came here via WIKnits contest blog.
Pretty green! It's my favorite color and I have a hard time finding nice greens.
Right now I have my first sock otn. I only had to frog parts of it about 5 times. Oh well. I'm almost done and then I can start the second one.
i am making bronte's mitts too!

I've got a lot on the go right now:
-a spring sweater for my mom (made of sport weight yarn so its taking a while...)
-branching out scarf in a light blue lace for my grandma
-clapotis (in a blue cascade 220)
-cabled bag (yet another gift)
-pomatomus socks (in knit picks dancing)
-basic house socks (Patons kroy)
I've also got a lot of projects ready to be cast on for but I'm trying to be good and finish some of this gift knitting first (really excited about the lace ribbon scarf I am going to make out of noro sock!)

1 lace curtain
What's on the needles? Too much! Marigold and Monkey socks, Jeanie, Icosa Welt Pillow, Shag and New Wave from Knitting New Scarves and Arietta who has been languishing since last summer...
Ohhh!!! Green! Beautiful colour!
What do I have on the needles? The first of a new pair of socks; am developing a pattern and having fun with it... have to work the heel.
On the hook (that is a family project in crocheting) is the inner circle of a rug in multiple colours. :-)
Hmm, have not seen the 5 hour baby sweater. Might have to look that one up! Like the sock!
Right now my needles are mellow with the second sock in the STR Lucky and a retro ski sweater on another. (it seriously looks similar in color to your hand dyed skein!) Happy blog-post-versary!
Happy blogiversary!
I have a sock (Mad Color Weave, US 1 dpns, Plymouth Happy Feet) and a scarf (Drop Stitch, US 10, Crystal Palace Party) on the needles right now. Love the sock, hate the scarf. Great pattern, but the yarn is tacky. It's going to my 10-yo cousin.

Ravelry Name: OhAmy
Something funny 1st: I wrote down my WIP on a paper B 4 actually commenting. Whenever I thought the list was finished I ended up having to add another, and another. Kinda of reminded me of when I was asked the questions "How many guys have you been with?" Does swatches that turned into projects count? :)(sounds sluty but not really...some are just forgettable. Was that an overshare?)
Anywho...here's my list. Active means that over the last 2wks I've pick up and done a few rows.
1) Candle flame scarf (active)
2) Fluzzy Lamb (needs 2 B stuff)
3) Little Sister dress (active)
4) Jay Walker (1 cuff - active)
5) Easy Mary Janes (1 done)
6) Yoke Seamless Shirt (vry active)
7) Foliage Hat (zzz)
8) Dashing Mitts (2nd mitt - zzz)
9) Short Row hat (semi-active)
There maybe others but I must stop now before I sound like a whore!
Right now I have a pair of high waisted shorts on the needles... and about 10 different socks
wow look at all those comments! I don't know how Missed this entry with a contest!
I have not one but three pairs of fingerless mitts otn. Bronte mitts, a pair of cabled mitts, that I am not liking too much, and a pair of Main morning mitts that I am making into Monkey morning mitts again. I also have a christmas stocking going, and a bag for a bag swap. I really want to start a chemo cap of sorts soon too, for a neighbor. I just don't know what yet, or what yarn to use.
Thank you for your contest, and good luck!
Krystal!
