Now is a good time...

to record the latest of projects. This is a Feather and Fan dishcloth I finally finished up the other day. I always keep some cotton yarn and circular needles in the car so if I am waiting somewhere and don't have anything else to pass the time, I have a simple project to work on.These are the Trilobite socks from the book Socks From the Toe Up by Wendy Johnson aka WendyKnits). I finished these up Thursday.

I got this package in the mail on Monday. It is the September installment of the Blue Moon Fibers STR sock club. It looks like a great pattern and yarn, as always.
Also on the same day, I received this box from The Loopy Ewe. It contained a clear project bag and these yarns--from left to right:
Claudia Hand Painted Yarns Chocolate Cherry
Fannie's Fingering Weight Old Roses
Tempted Handpainted Yarns Luxe Grrl Moondance
This is the MonthlyDishcloths mid-September KAL--Rhomboid Cloth
I decided to use this skein of Tempted Luxe Grrl for the next sock pattern from Socks From the Toe Up, Mock Cable Socks. I'm not sure how soon I will get it cast on as I just cast on the next picture the same day I finished the last pair of socks from Socks From the Toe Up.

This is the In Season sock which just happens to be the July STR sock club pattern. I am falling behind as usual with these, but I only have one outstanding pattern from previous years. Maybe I will eventually get caught up!
This is the first three days worth of the October KAL from MonthlyDishcloths. It looks like the bottom half of a dancing monkey?
That's all I am working on for right now, except I do have a pink Feather and Fan baby blanket on the needles that I pick up and knit a few rows on occasionally. I need to finish it up and start one in blue, just in case!

As always all pertinent info is on my Ravelry projects page.
