I am happy to report that I have just finished my 3rd project this month.

Lace up tank
Dolman Updated
Sockapal-2-za socks

The Lace up tank was the first. The yarn is Plymouth 24K and the pattern is from VK Holiday 2004. I made this tank to wear with my super-high, strappy beaded pumps. Cute, huh?! Now, I just need a cute boy and somewhere to go.

Second, I finally finished my Dolman Updated. I have to admit that I am a bit embarassed that it has taken me so long to finish this sweater. I bought the yarn that I needed in Atlanta and it only took me about 30 minutes to do the finishing. Now, my sister is trying to talk me to giving it to her. I asked her to model it for me but I'm not so sure that I am ready to give it up. I have long arms and unfortunately did not make the sleeves as long as I would like. I'm going to hang onto it for now.

And finally, my sockapal-2-za socks are done and ready to be mailed. The pattern is Step Out in Style from Cast On magazine Fall 2004 issue. I hope that my pal likes them and I can't wait to send them out.

It feels so good to finish up some UFOs. Now I can move on to some new projects. I've cast on the knit wrap cardi from Stitch Diva and am thinking of starting my GGH Soft Kid shrug. I also have some GGH Aspen in my stash that would be perfect for Josephine from the new Knitty.

All those projects look great. The sexy lacy tank is awesome. I hope you found a cute boy to take you somewhere, or just wore it anyway and looked danged cute in it anyway! I'm sure your sock pal loved the socks, they are so pretty and girly. I really like the Dolman Updated and isn't that nice you were able to find the yarn to finish it!
