Work is always busy so I'll skip that part. I've been sewing and knitting quite a bit. I've sewn one dress, three skirts, an underskirt, and three pairs of lightweight under shorts (those of you that chafe when wearing skirts will understand the necessity). I still have some more sewing to do and I may continue while I'm on a roll but there is no real urgency.
I've also completed 4 shawls in the last few months and my mind still turns to shawls when I want to knit so now I need to figure out my next project. I finished my Summer Flies shawl on Sunday morning, just in time to wear it during the cool morning hours. It still needs to be blocked though and I don't have any pictures yet. I love it though. I had to modify it to make it the length I wanted and it turned out perfectly. I don't think I will block it very hard (stretch it out).
I did block my Ravontuli:

Sorry, the picture is a little fuzzy. I love the way it looks but the feel is still pretty sheepy. I won't be wearing this until it's time for long sleeves and higher collars.

Now, I need to figure out what next.
I have Suki in a bag with needles and spring green and bright yellow yarn Knit Picks Essential. It's ready but should it be next?
I have Fiori di sole matched with pink alpaca yarn.
Pretty as a peacock is earmarked for my souvenir yarn from San Diego.
The Summer Solstice [no longer a] Mystery shawl is put together with some beautiful red alpaca and glorious glittery beads (If you want to see what it looks like you'll have to look at the other projects on Ravelry).
I think I will pair the Woad dyed worsted weight I got at Egils with Amethyst. Am I ready for worsted weight or do I want to wait for cooler months?
I also want to do the Medium version of Volna with some of my Knit Picks Chroma. Ohh, but which color?
There are dozens of others in my queue that haven't yet been matched with yarns. Oh what will it be?!

Do you have an opinion?
