Progress - somewhat

So I'd really like to finish up some of my projects, but work is seriously getting in the way. Ah well, I finally finished my stripey socks (KnitPicks Felici) that I cast-on during my bar trip in August 2008 (yes, a year an a half ago, really).

And I'm making some progress on my Sundara Sweater - which is taking forever. I know it's largely so slow due to the fact that I got to the waist and then had to rip back to before the bust-darts, but it's still bugging me. Ah well. I'm through 2/3rds of my hip increases, so the end for this one is actually in sight!

Epic Fail...But look! Lace!

So...I must admit my Knitting Olympics projectw as an epic fail. I got maybe 6 inches into the back. It's gorgeous, but I had no knitting mojo during the Olympics. We'll see if I manage to get back to it, now that it's all warm out.

But, in better news - look! I cast one some lace. Here's the start of my Haruni in Wollmeise 100% in Brombeere.
