finished OSW!
Hoorah!  The One Skein Wonder that actually took about a skein and a half is done!  Ready to be shipped off to parts unknown.  I wanted to keep it for myself but it doesn't fit.  I really like the colors, and it is super stretchy because of the elastic, it was really fun to knit.  I realized about 2/3's of the way through the body that I was supposed to be knitting it on a circular rather than straight needles.  That's what I get for starting a project while sick!  But it turned out okay, it was just a tight fit for all the stitches towards the end.  When I do one for myself it will go much faster with circular needles. 
Picking up the stitches on the two fronts was kind of a pain... I couldn't get the right number of stitches... either ten or twelve too many or twenty short.  There ended up being a small picked up stitch deficit on one side, but everything turned out fine.  If I can find someone to model this, I will post a picture of it in action.
 
Now back to the pink hoodie.  I have about 6 inches done on never-ending sleeve the second.
Yay.  I really want to make some socks.  The pattern for the clessidra socks on knitty is amazing.  They are the sexiest socks I've ever seen!  So I need to start practicing, practicing!!
