It is more that I know I am making progress than that I seem to be able to see it. You can see that I've started the sleeve on Amelia's sweater, and I finished one of Madelyn's socks. Actually, I have started the second one, as well, but made a mistake at the beginning of the cuff, so I have gone back on that. Likewise, I cast on for a new design, but then didn't follow my own directions and forgot to use a provisional cast on when I started it. So, out that came, as well. Since we were away from home at that point, I didn't have any spare yarn to use, then we came home and it was the weekend, so I worked on finishing the first sock and getting the first sleeve started.

Today, it is nearly half way through Malabrigo March, and I haven't even started a single thing. I have two projects planned, one which I didn't plan to finish this month, anyway, but the other I really want to complete.

In the background, I have five patterns I'm writing, in various stages of completion, two for publication in magazines, three for independent publication - plus a scarf pattern that will be a freebie for my subscribers next year.

I have done very little reading this week in either The Dress Doctor or The Joy of Yarn. We had a busy end of week, plus the time change, plus a birthday, plus a neighborhood dinner, and I'm still trying to catch up on my rest.
