In progress:

• Knitting Montego Bay wrap in Walking on the Wild Tide yarn, using Montego Bay scarf pattern from Interweave Knits Summer issue
  (Started life as the Grasshopper socks from the Rockin' Sock Club. Morphed into Tide Walkers, which equaled lost of frogging and tons of frustration at the whole toe-up thing. Unraveled everything and started the Nereides pattern from MagKnits. The pattern worked, but the yarn didn't look good in it. So...)

• Flip-top mittens (knitting)
  
• Just Nan 2002 Christmas ornament (cross stitch)

Yeah, I need to work on a few of those "In progress, but didn't work on" projects. I probably should designate one weekend to working on those. But, Sirena keeps calling me from the corner. I had no idea spinning would get such a hold on me!
