The torso of Amelia is finished and as soon as my dpns arrive (they have shipped) I'll start trucking on the sleeves.
If I didn't have baby gifts that need to be knit for February and March, I would be casting on another sweater for me to knit in the meantime.
The problems with my previous hand-knit sweaters (1 donated to charity, 1 stretched out and 2 waiting to be ripped back) and all that I learned from those experiences are totally worth it for the success I'm having now!

On another knitting topic, my fuzzy feet (felted slippers) have developed holes around the toes. I love them and they do a great job, but if I continue wearing them like this, the holes are just going to get bigger. Any suggestions on fixing them, or should I just suck it up and knit myself a new pair?

You could patch the slippers.
And yeah, I hear you on the sweater thing. I'm waiting for my DIC cloud jungle to get here for my Amelia, and I cast on for Ingenue (FROM STASH YARN) the other night.
Thermal gave me that "must have more sweaters" bug. Thankfully I think Tree Jacket will help... and I have yarn for a chunky knit cardigan which will be instant gratification. Silly spring babies getting in the way of selfish knitting.
