Returning to the WIPS

It's been a long while since we did a WIP Wednesday around here, so when I started to write this I decided that's what it would be.

Once I was settled and got over the disappointment of the inaccessible stash and missing needles, I realized that I shouldn't be sad because I had a whole list of WIPs that I could just finish up.  They were already on their needles so that wouldn't be a problem. Plus, I typically store each WIP with the rest of the yarn to complete it in a big basket, and I knew where it was!  In all honesty, it would take me a year to finish all them up anyways.  Yippee, my knitting life was saved. Almost.

Here is the list as it stands now.

1. Fern Garden Scarf:  row 99: still haven't found much quiet time to knit on it)
2. Charade Socks: 50% complete: All set good to go here!
3. Fingerless gloves: This one was first on the finishing list and it's almost made it.
4. Sabine: Satisfying my sweater knitting I'm now about 5 inches into it.  I realized I never measured my gauge and it's very off, so I'll have to make a bigger size.  This may mean I don't have enough yarn.  This realization has dampened my enthusiasm, but I'm going to plod through anyways.
5. Decimal: body and one sleeve complete.  Hmmm.  It seems I'm out of luck on this one.  I only kept one more ball of the yarn with the WIP, so I can do the next sleeve but the yoke will have to wait until next year.  This was a big bummer for me. I was hoping this would be my Rhinebeck sweater, but it wasn't meant to be.
6. Shawl in progress (gift for mom): Now this is rapidly joining the unspeakable list.  I'm having hand-dyed-skeins-aren't-always-the-same issues and I can't decide how to fix it. 
7. Mittens: one complete, but it seems a moth ate through the tip...
8. Adult surprise jacket: still increasing (about 2 inches done). I have all the yarn, and the needles, but my copy of Knitting Workshop...you guessed it, in the abyss of storage. Ugh. 

Oh well, there goes that plan.  Good thing I was headed to Rhinebeck!
