I do have some other things I need to get knitted, but this weekend I started two new projects: the Rosaleen Shawl and Sunrise Socks.
The shawl is for a friend. I had made her a scarf a long time ago but never sent it. During my cleaning, I found it but unfortunately the moths had found it, too. I think this new project will be more to her liking anyway. I know she loves this color! (It's called Papaya and isn't as red as it looks in the photo.)
And the socks are for me! Two of my students want to knit socks and I think the Sunrise pattern may be a good one for them to knit. It's for sizes small through extra large which is not common for a sock pattern. And it's toe up so they can easily customize the socks to their feet. I'd like to get one sock mostly completed by Saturday's class then use the other sock to demonstrate how to make the project. I love that the yarn looks like a sunrise!
What are you knitting these days?
Those are cheerful looking projects! I'm knitting a pair of socks for a friend, that epic sock blanket, and a pair of legwarmers (from handspun! yay me!) for Hannah.

i'm nearly finished with the moch cardi-same with dark and stormy-sooooo close. i did finish up 2 pairs of socks last week-(2nd socks were at different points, so not as awesome as it sounds). i started another pair of socks on sunday, and i'm almost done with the leg. oh an i still have crocus on the needles. i'm trying not to really start anything until the 2 sweaters and shawl are done. however, i needed a portable project so that explains the new socks! can't wait to see your FO's

I'm working on some socks myself and a basket weave scarf that I can't wait to finish!

The Rosaleen shawl is such a lovely design. (I've been swatching lately.)

I've got a vest almost complete which will be a gift due to the "gage issue" it's suffering (no idea how that happened...) a pair of socks, also a surprise gift and a shawl for me! Feeling the need for a sweater in there to but haven't got the right combo going yet! Love those yarns you're using!
