Feeling mildly productive

I've been knitting.  A lot.  I've also stuck to knitting strictly from the stash, while not purchasing any new yarn.
Husband's socks got done.
My first hat for Halos of Hope got finished.


I also finished a sweater that just needed sleeves.
And put a few more teeth on my Fires shawl.


I may have started planning for the warmer weather that's on it's way with a cotton skirt on the needles (right now a boring bright teal tube), three linen skirt kits have been put together, and a list of tops appropriate for the coming seasons, (a few out of my beloved Doomsday Knits).  The skirts are all yarn from the stash.  There is also a pair of merino/silk day gloves on the needles in a bright red, with more to follow in other colors (also from stash).  And I may have decided a bit of nerd wear would round things out nicely, so a space cowboy inspired long coat from Knits for Nerds in brown superwash merino(stash yarn again) jumped onto my needles.
Oh, I also decided it might be a good idea to finish this, as it's been languishing for a bit:
It's the Wrapped in Leaves from Botanical Knits and I'm hoping to have it completed soon. The leaves are so much fun to knit!  Yes, you can rightfully guess that it uses yarn from my stash. ;-)
At this rate I may successfully work my knitting project collection down to something manageable...or I may just insist on finding more things to add to it. :-D
