I think this must be some sort of knitter's version of nesting (in which case, baby: it's a little early just yet, how about you stay put another few weeks), but recently I've felt the need to work my way through various WIPs that were in various stages of completeness.
With the result that...
I finished off my Centrique in Scrumptious DK from Fyberspates. After getting inexplicably stuck halfway through it was amazing how quickly I finished it once I sorted out the problems
I did the seams on my February baby sweater. It still needs to be blocked and have some buttons sewn on. I love this pattern and will have to find a lighter weight yarn to do a smaller version
I grafted the underarms on this little Owlet that has been sitting in my WIP pile for months. I'm not 100% happy with it, but I'm sure when it's actually on a baby it will look cute.
And I weaved in ends on two baby blankets.
The striped one still needs a backing sewn on, but the cabled blanket (based on This is Knit's Cuddles and Cables Blanket) just needs to be blocked.
All of which means, I've only got WIPs left that are either completely ancient, or just started. And it also means I may not be able to put off steeking the baby cardigan for much longer.

Wow! Talk about industrious, you've been flying along! The cabled baby blanket is just adorable, and the Feb Baby Sweater! ooh! But the Owlet. Aww. I can't wait to see chubby baby cheeks in it. Special praise for the Centrique, too. Isn't it a great pattern?
Thanks Sinead :) The Centrique pattern is really great - I would have flown through it if I'd stopped reading things into the pattern that weren't there! I love the Owlet pattern - it was a bit of an experiment to see how it would look in acrylic for a new-mum-friendly gift. I think there's another one in my future!
