Well, so much for documenting UFOs... instead I demolished 3, completed several. The EZ Baby surprise jacket is done but for buttons (I plan to make some frogs), 2 additional Baby Surprise jackets are done (one has its buttons, one still needs buttons). I made up a Keyhole Ascot Scarf. Love this knitting thing.

Here is a pic of the Baby Surprise trio.

I made the buttons on the completed one, crocheted 'em. Fun stuff.

I do enjoy making this sweater - about as much fun as I have had recently using the garter stitch for an entire sweater. There was this sweater I used to make - a crossover pattern - that was a lot of fun with the garter stitch.... Maybe it is time to make another crossover pattern sweater, refresh my memory.

I think the next UFO to be tackled is the insanity lace shawl. It takes me about an hour to make an inch, but I am only 12 inches from the length I want... then I want to put a border around it.... see? Insanity. But it is LOVELY and will be fabulous when done so it did not get dismantled.

I dismantled a scarf made in blues and sea colors (I have plans for the yarns, small item plans), a ruffled swing dress for a baby (I have new plans for that yarn and plans to get a different yarn for the dress - the yarn I got was not working for me in that pattern), and the sari yarn scarf I was making but was confused as to where I was in the pattern and the pattern was not showing up in the yarn anyway so why bother with the fancy stitch? Out it came! It actually felt GOOD to take these apart and bag up the yarns and put them away. Hmmmm.
