I just started a Rasta style hat for my boyfriend (and the CEY web-letter). Here are some photos.

I am currently working on 2 baby blankets. I am also thinking about making some animals/toys for my nieces and nephews (although I am sure my daughters would love them too). Sorry, Kristen but I don't have any photos yet.
That's okay :)
Blankets always intimidate me. They seem so big. I know baby blankets are not so big, but maybe it's my short attention span needing some sort of shaping to keep my interest. Good for you.
I've recently added toys and animals to my list of things to design. I designed a knit frog recently and they're just so much fun, and because they're so small they take so little time!
Unfortunately, I don't design my own yet. I am good about seeing something and then adapting it to what I need but I am not at the design stage yet. The blankets I am making are great big granny squares. They take a little time but I think it goes pretty quickly therefore satisfying my need to complete the project in a hurry. When I need something mindless, I have been making granny squares in different shades. I am not sure what I will do with them but I am sure I will eventually think of something.
Howdy! Nice hat; I love lacy things and openwork in general :)
-My first expensive thing; a fuschia fuzzy mohair scarf (big, wrap-style)
I have so many wonderful, odd things waiting to be crocheted.. everytime I have an idea, I sketch it in my agenda's 'notes' section so I don't forget it. :)

Right now, I'm working on a Matinee Jacket. I found the pattern on the Lion Brand Yarn site. I am just finishing the back of it.
Pictures, yeah! Kristen I love your pictures! It has been fun to read about Kim Werker's visit to Porter Square; I lived on Porter Street (a couple blocks away) when I first moved to New England in 1987, then up in Davis Square (then way out in Stow but that's another story). Man, have those neighborhoods changed!
A pullover top in bamboo/wool (Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo)! First time I ever bought yarn as specified by a pattern (well, not exactly as specified, but anyway...). I'm trying to get some company over on the crochet-along! Anybody else inspired to do something out of Doris Chan's new book?
Let me see, I think there's more ... I DO finish things, but I love starting them!
(And hey, I want some of those bitty progress bars you have along the sidebar of your blog!)
stuff i'm working on at the moment, a jacket in the round from 'DROPS' garnstudio.com, really fun to do and wear (i'm only at the adapting stage for patterns as yet) and a wrap around bolero, which is giving me some grief, from a pattern book, that what ever i do, following 2 simple rows of decreasing at both ends; i can not get the continuation of the 4 row pattern. will have another sesh today, when more awake. I have the daft habit of working into the early hours, to get 'just another row' (or 10) done! lol sound familiar to anyone??

dc's are trebles in disguise!!
besides world domination and the destruction of the evil evil moon?
I just finished a purse with a fair isle pattern crocheted into it. I need to get photos posted. I'm very pleased with it.

I have to make 4 more 'We call them pirates' hats, in crochet, before christmas.
and my favorite: I am making a hijab for a friend of mine. I have 2400 yards of Cherry Tree Hill Laceweight in shades of blue, and an equal amount of laceweight alpaca in ivory. I have a fair isle chart and I'm taking off. It's kind of slow going at first and I got an inch in and realized I did not like the gauge so I bumped it down 2 hook sizes and I think it works infinitely better.
Thanks mostly what I got going on.
Hardcore? Hardcore is for babies. I'm HOOKCORE!
I too suffer from too many WIP... I'm making a shell pattern wrap for friend #1; cashmere hat and scarf set for friend #2; christmas themed dishcloths for teachers #1-4; blanket for hubby; and knitting a skirt for kid. And I have the crochet cardigan from simply knitting magazine waiting in the wings for me. I have the yarn for the "baby its cowled outside" pattern from here. I have some knitting WIP that haunt me and I hate and am building up the courage to frog. I have sewing projects ready to go when I find time to power up the machine..... someone shoot me before I find another pattern!!
and I do stay up way to late to do "just a little more..."
I'm also working on 'Baby It's Cowled Outside' as a gift for my Mom. I'm doing it in the Louet Gems yarn, in a cream color. It's a beautiful yarn.
I'm having a bit of an issue with the pattern but think that it'll work itself out if I go back to working on it when I'm NOT sick. :)
I'm also knitting things but ... so many projects, so little time!
Starting projects is my favorite part too. It's like falling in love. At the beginning you want to work with it ALL the time, and you love every moment of it, then as time goes on some projects fade, and some stay strong. It all depends.
I created the progress bars myself. I'll PM you the links to the images.
There are lots of busy little beavers crocheting away on this site! It's so great to hear what you all are working on.
Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has loads of WIP... ;-) I do want to finish a basket-weave blanket I was started last year. It's too big to tote around so it gets buried in the WIP pile.
Christmas is around the corner and my mind is racing....what to start (and not finish) next?!? :-\
I haven't even thought of that yet! Oi. I better think of a bunch of little things to work up quickly.
