Nothing new, I'm afraid. I'm still chugging along on my current wips, which are growing slowly. I have loads of things on my wishlist, but I want to finish a couple of things first.

I'm ready to divide for the armholes at long last.
Current socks
One down, one still on the needles
The Mystery Shawl
I'm knitting this until I run out of yarn. I have just over one ball of Jamieson's Ultra left - about 230yds - so surely it won't take much longer to knit this! I think I'll be able to knit one more pattern repeat before casting off.
It's a circular shawl, which is why it looks like a bundle of rags. I hope it blocks out well, it's looking quite small.
My ISE4 shawl, the Diamond Fantasy, is blocked, but I've not taken any photos yet. I'll wait until I take it into the office and can get someone to hold it up - this week sometime as it needs to be posted to Western North America (and that's the only hint I'll give!)
Last, but not least, the Forest Path Stole!
It looks exactly as it did at tier 10, but I've now finished tier 12. I've bit the bullet and changed needles, from grey metal circulars to bamboo circulars. These may be blunter than the Innox but they make for easier knitting, in this instance they work better with the yarn, more grip, and I can see the knitting a little better. Hopefully this means I might pick this project up more often. I've already decided to knit the full 23 tiers rather than 19. 12 down, 11 to go = 49 rectangles!
I'm still pondering on my sockapaloozer socks, but at Stash yesterday I bought some potential sock yarn - Fleece Artist merino , in Burgundy. I won't mention the other purchases, let's just say I grabbed the second from last skein of Handmaiden Camel Spin, in Renaissance along with other Handmaiden goodies. I'm glad to see that they're producing the Seasilk in larger skeins - 150g and 600m rather than 100g and 400m.

Everything is growing up nicely! Have you got something planned already for the new yarn?
