Oh, but what's this? February's UFO, perhaps?
It's Patrick by Black Purl. The designer is from Wisconson, so we're nearly neighbors. I started the sweater *ahem* last February, and messed up on the shoulder shaping-- so set it aside. Neither sleeve has been knit, either. So, there's a bit of ripping and a good deal of knitting left. It's the largest size... I didn't measure the intended giftee (a 6'3" man), and really wish I did. He doesn't have a 53" chest, and I kept thinking, "It's ribbing. It'll fit". Oh, it will-- but measuring would have saved a great deal of time. (It's 42" unblocked) The yarn is a machine washable, organic wool- Cestari.
Last month's cheating sock #1: Lorna's Laces Sport in Bittersweet. I'm knitting them on US 1s (Crystal Palace dpns. Love em') It's rail road rib of 4x1x1x1The mutant amarylis continues to grow. The second mega-blossom shows signs of another 5-part bloom.

Your sock is beautiful! So bright and cheery! I've decided I hate knitting with ones - they hurt my hands - I just ripped a sock and cast it back onto a 2.
That sweater has some mind-boggling cables!
Oooh, I LOVE that sweater! I wonder if my husband would be interested in it. Have you been to Black Purl before? It's a nice little shop and if you're ever in downtown Wausau you should definitely check it out.
The sock is so bright and pretty! And the amaryllis, wow! I wish I'd thought to get one this year.
I love how the bittersweet colorway looks, I never would've thought to buy some if I saw it on the skein. Cool! :)
Yay! Good choice for the Feb. UFO. I'm going to be so excited to see it finished - I'm sure Eric wishes he had it already this weekend.
