Ambition (or lack of focus)

I have a few new projects in the mix at the moment, either because I'm super ambitious (or, more likely, because I'm feeling scatterbrained and can't focus on any one for very long).

They are:

1. A lacy cotton scarf, intended to use up a single skein of Araucania Ulmo from my stash.

2. Sean stocking no. 2. I finished my husband's stocking last year, and it took so long that I never made mine. Just picture this a lot, lot bigger.

3. Some sort of vest, made from Alpaca & Silk. There are multiple swatches going at the moment. I'm not loving any of them.

I'm also still plodding along on the fair isle pillow, but I have to alternate it with more mindless knitting!

Good as new (almost)

Here's a little update on the mouse-eaten dishcloth. I machine stitched around the chewed out areas to consolidate loose fibers, and then picked up stitches along the bottom of the hole. I had to knit up about 10 rows to complete the missing area. I grafted the top edge of the patch to the top edge of the hole, and then sewed the sides closed. It's not totally invisible, but not bad as a patch for a large irregular hole chewed by a mouse!
