I cast on the cabled yoke cardigan a while ago but that won't be finished anytime soon. I may also do a sweater for Theo, ready for winter. I have yarn in my stash for one.

I might do some cabled socks... I need to knit a pair for a charity auction in August... the quicker I get them done... Wink

I have a couple of projects in mind, and may end up making both of them.

First up is a cabled bag which I'm planning in a similar colour to the pattern. I'm thinking that this will be good as travelling knitting.

Second is Martha for which I have some yarn in a gorgeous aubergine colour.

I love the bag Kathryn, I am very tempted to do that for myself. Not that I need any more bags Very Happy

Neither do I, Liz. But I'll always manage to find a use for it! Wink

Love that bag!

I haven't given a lot of thought to what I'll do either. Maybe cabled socks. Maybe I'll look for cabled bag patterns. Smile

I may forego the cables... I have sooooooo many UFO's floating about my house (don't I always).. I'm going to try and get them under control... Wish me luck..

I am planning on finishing Jim's Aran that I started in January. Embarassed

I think my elbow will allow some knitting a week or so.

Wow, I can join two KAL's at the same time. The May Cable KAL and the "'Let's see what we can get finished before the end of May' KAL... " with GA and jackieknits.

I started the same sweater that KM is knitting for Jim (was it really in January? Laughing

) and I have a whopping 3" complete on the ribbing. What a hoot.

Other projects in the works:
Grey wool lace shawl - I probably started this 4 or 5 years ago Rolling Eyes

Hat - pattern from Peru (I can't remember what they are called)-this one is over a year old, and I have 1 1/2 ear flaps complete. Okay, this one really deserves the Rolling Eyes

Julie's Grandmothers Laprobe and pillow (crochet project)
Tom Bombadill socks
chemo caps (3 for Gilda's Club)
Fingerless Mitts (a Parlor KAL)
Fisherman's sweater
Art Prize Mittens and Hat
Autumn Gold Shawl. ( the March KAL)

Do you think I suffer from startitous just a little bit. Laughing

Discipline is not my middle name.
