And now for some long lost WIPs. I don't think I have ever had two projects more in need of blocking. First, I am knitting the lacy airy scarf (I don't think that is the official title) from Last Minute Knitted Gifts for my One Skein Secret Pal. I heart this Knit Picks yarn, Alpaca Cloud. It's sha-weet. It's knitting up rather quickly, but as I mentioned, in desperate need of a good blocking. That sounds so dirty.
Secondly, we have this Maggi Knits linen washcloth. I love knitting with the linen. Picked it up at Sit N Knit during the sale (sadly, it was not on sale). But, I am not loving the pattern. In fact, I am not loving it so much it's almost a guarantee, that it will end up being for my own face.

I had picked dark colors because I was thinking that since I don't take my make-up off prior to washing my face, I won't care if I get dark patches on the washcloth. Now, I just think the colors look muddy, but again, it's a warshcloth, so who really cares about color? It will be in my bathroom where no one dares to go!
And finally, yet another Mason-Dixon ball band dish cloth. This one is fun because it's with Cotton Classic and the colors are cool. I think this dish cloth is going to end up a hand towel. When I was on the Mason-Dixon KAL earlier, I saw someone who got carried away and just kept going until it was hand towel length and I love it. We'll see if I can part with it. Probably not.

Lastly, the Top Secret project is almost finished. I am taking it to the SnB tonight to finish it or at least get a lot further to finishing it. It is getting gifted next week so I will finally be able to post a picture of it. Hope it photographs better when it is finished and in situ because when I did the old flat on the table picture, not so much.

What colorway is the variegated you are using for that dishcloth? I love it!
I am so amused. :)
(Because I'm guilty of the same sort of thing. Just placed a stamp order this morning, and realized an hour after I closed it that I'd ordered a duplicate of an ink cartridge. *sigh*)
Glad you found the book. Unfortunately, after I got mine in my meanderings I clicked on Amazon and found I could have gotten the book along with a second sock book for the same price. Oh well I am not a very patient person.
So, that Mason-Dixon Knitting book is worth having?
Btw, this is me, Cori - "Claire" is my Blog name. :-)
