WIPs, status update

So my projects have been kind of kaput. The cardigan I was working on. . . I wasn't happy with the three different skeins, so I ordered two more skeins (which have since been backordered so I don't know when I will ever get my yarn) in the hope that it would help to even out the variation of the variegation. I took a couple pictures though, of the two sleeve shoulders. I picked up the stitches pretty well! Well, the left one is perfect, the right has two mistakes (but who's going to be paying that much attention to my sleeve caps?).

So without further ado, the right sleeve cap:
 And the left:
 There's a second sock I've been working on too, since the cardigan has stalled (it's Cookie A.'s Baudelaires, predictably in red):
My defense though, is that red is one of my favorite colors, and I've been holding onto this sock yarn for awhile looking for the perfect pattern. So when one came up, the sample being in red, it seemed serendipitous.

I really want to finish my sweater so that I can start planning my next one (I ordered five skeins of Dream In Color Smooshy in Cocoa Kiss with those two additional skeins of DIC Everlasting in Tidewater, nevermind the three skeins of Madelinetosh Pashmina in Calligraphy that I bought with my first DIC Everlasting order, but I digress). I officially have sweater madness. And it's expensive.
