I did it! On a Ravelry thread I committed to finishing up some nagging projects before casting on ANY new projects no matter how tempting. This morning I finished the last one and I just finished posting the projects on Ravelry. I am excited to start some new projects that have been forced to wait a few weeks.
Here are some pics of the projects that got finished recently.

End of Summer Crunch
I am finishing up projects, wrapping up Summer, having a son get eye surgery (waiting rooms make great knitting time!), post surgery appointments, etc.
For instance, I have three pair of socks that just need a sewn bind-off, a reader's wrap that just needs the pockets sewn on, an entrelac shawl that is short two repeats and some finishing, a shawl and a scarf that need to be blocked and ends woven in, the scarf pattern that needs to be written up, and the list goes on...lol. Plus four more projects I want to get cast on!
Then there are my non knitting writing projects and obligations that still need attention. I need more hours in the day! Will it get better once school starts....we'll see.

Brief update...more coming soon
This is a very quick update...I have been busy with family but I am getting back into the knitting groove. I am currently teaching classes at the Recycled Lamb in Lakewood for those of you in the Denver area.
I am finishing up several projects and have just discovered Lily Go! I LOVE her shawls!

Yarn Crawl
Whipped up a hat in Navy colors for my 18 year old who is enlisting this week.
Did I mention I LOVE Ultra Pima Cotton from Cascade Yarns?
I am also setting things up so the kids can all knit up hats for either KnotsofLove or ChemoCaps. I am also getting ready to participate in the first annual Rocky Mountain Yarn Crawl. It seems like a lot of fun!

Some projects finished!

Here are the links to the pics and the details of each project

I am now working on finishing up a promised pair of socks for my daughter, an afghan started WAY too long ago, a big lace shawl that will just take a while, convertible mitten/fingerless gloves started last spring, a vest that I have swatched but now need to get going for my husband, his afghan that I am designing, and about 5 other projects...just a typical knitter.
I am also slowly putting up all the projects I have completed the past year up on Ravelry. Today I finally got the pics and details up for Ellen's socks that were started and completed last November.

Cascade UltraPima
My hats are cruising along and I cast on for another shawl. I have to say I have fallen in love with Cascade UltraPima I got at Knit Knack. It is so smooth and fun to knit with and easy to work with as well.

Tonight I cast on two more hats. A couple of weeks ago I knitted up another hat pattern two at a time and it was fantastic!
The hat pattern I cast on tonight was originally written to knit flat so the first modification was to the pattern for circular knitting. I hope to get them done soon so they can be sent off in the same package as the other hats and two shawls I have knitted in the last few weeks!
I'll post pics and more details soon...
