Lots of projects just waiting for final decisions. Already in project bags with needles sitting near the desk.
My next sweater design in fingering weight yarn. This one will have a shallow scoop neck and 3/4 length slightly flared bell sleeves and lace at the bottom of the body and sleeves.
My next next sweater design out of DK weight with a center front cable panel.
