Just a little knitting update

Here's a little list of current and future projects:

FOs not yet photographed:
* M's pirate hat like the ones I made for the kids
* A funfur hat for Children's Hospital of Boston--see Kate's blog post for the details, if you'd like to join in the great Funfur destash of 2007!

WIPs:
* Adirondack Sweater for M in Swish Superwash: I've swatched two needle sizes--the recommended US7 and also US6 since I often have to go down a size. I haven't washed my swatch yet, but will throw it in with the next dark load becuase I've heard that Swish does shrink vertically.
* More funfur hats for Kate. The current one on the needles is in Bernat Disco--brown with metallic thingys in it. I hate hate hate knitting with it, but I think it'll make a great hat for a kid, and that's all that matters.
* Icarus in Claudia Handpainted silk laceweight, from a kit I got at the Knitting Hutch. Isn't on the needles yet, but I've wound the yarn and plan to start any day now.
* Entrelac scarf (PDF) in Patons SWS. This has been a WIP for a while, at least since November. Didn't need it for a Christmas gift, so it's been languishing. I don't even think I've finished one ball yet.

Future projects:
* A pirate hat for me, if I get the chance before our February ski trip
* Rogue, for me, in Elann Peruvian Highland Chunky. I want to start M's sweater before I start mine, though.
* Gloves or something (?) for M out of some handspun wool we got on vacation last October
* A panta for the daughter of a friend--she saw the ones I did as Christmas gifts and would like one. I have the yarn, just haven't started yet.
* Classic socks from Folk Socks by Nancy Bush for M, I got the book from the library yesterday. Not sure what yarn I'll use yet, I have a few to choose from.
* BFF socks in my first Koigu, which I got from Cookie in her "destash for Knitters Without Borders" sale. Thought it made sense to use her pattern with the yarn I got from her!

If I'm being totally honest, I have more future projects than that, but that's all I'm going to list at the moment. I'm still not exactly sure when yarn in my stash for which I have a project in mind goes from "stash" to "future project." I'll think on that one!

Your knitting's terrific - but what on earth is a panta?? The pictures on the link were passworded. That they're nice gifts is what intrigues me. Thanks much.
