I spent a few hours a month ago organizing my Knitting and was chagrined to find I had over 20 WPI's. I vowed I would finish at least five of them before I started anything else. Recently I posted three baby blankets and a baby sweater and hat set that I finished. Also several dishcloths and a scarf not posted . I started these socks for my DH last November and was down to turning the first heel, but put them down to get ready for Christmas.The pattern is Cotswold Socks by Helen Duffy that I found on KnitPicks and the yarn is Knit Picks "Stroll', agate heather. My DH loves them. Now with my WPI's reduced, I feel free to start something new. So many patterns in queue, what to do, what to do?

Thank you all for looking and your kind remarks. It does feel like a real acomplishment. I do get so distracted by new patterns and challenges.

Just love the yarn, the pattern stitch, and the gorgeous execution! Congrats! Hoping to see you again at Busy Fingers which meets the third Thurs. of each month, 1-3, now at Trinity Presbyterian Church. We have a good stock of donated yarn to share.

Great socks and congratulations on catching up with your WIP

Oh, how I can relate to your post....I spent hours organizing my WIPs, too.
I not only had to untangle things, I had to find the pattern! I now have each
project in a separate plastic ziploc bag with the pattern! I now vow to start chipping away at some of these Knit/crochet WIPS--2 afghans, 2 dishcloths, 2 prs, socks, hand towels, 3 scarves,etc.

Hi,
Thank you for your comments. I hope to make a meeting later this Fall. I do have a few things to donate. We are up in Massachusetts now since April. we would have been back earlier but my DH had to have some surgeries in June and recently in August. He is still recuperating not sure when we will be able to leave.
