Startitis

With the completion of the last minute hat and the unplanned blanket, I seem to have come down with a case of Startitis.  There's another project that's been on the needles for months, but that's still having a nice bath and isn't ready for its photo shoot yet.

I've managed to limit my exposure to just two projects.  Three if you count a second sock.  But that's really just a continuation of an existing project.  

One is a gift for a good friend's birthday next weekend.  

This is a face mask for fall weather motorcycle riding.  Knit with Zauberball Starke 6 in color #2100. It's a 6 ply, so it's cozy and tough.  And machine washable, which is important for a face mask.

Also on the needles is yet another tiny human blanket.  This tiny human isn't even on its way yet, but it will be and it never hurts to get a jump on things.

This lovely is made with Polka Dot Sheep Tenderfoot 80/20 in color Beargrass.  This blanket is going to take me approximately one lifetime to complete, so I'm glad I'm getting a bit of a headstart.  The construction is wonderful so far, albeit slow going.

Think it's a blanket yet?

And of course there's the sock.  I knit the first one ages ago and then got distracted with other fun things.  I just fished it out of the WIP bin and figured it's time to make it a pair.

I'm sure at one point I had the band to this, but it's gone now.  If memory serves, it's a Paton's Kroy Sock.  

Anyone want to place a bet on how close the baby is to arriving before I finish the blanket.  I'm not delusional enough to think that starting it this soon means it will be done ahead of time.

That's just crazy talk.
