more multi-project progress

I did almost everything on my list yesterday.  I didn't quite finish the pockets or the hoop channels, but I put a good hour into each.  I have just one more hoop channel to sew.  I probably would have gotten more done if I hadn't taken a break to make some delicious cookies.

I worked a few more rows on the sweater's left front.  I'm at the armscye shaping now.  I washed my woolens and swatched for the new mitten; 3.5 sts/ inch, a quick knit and so bulky and warm!  I'll probably start it later in the week or maybe next week.

Today's goals: 

Finish the last hoop bone channel, attach the waistband and inside panel, cut the boning
Finish sewing the jeans front pockets
Keep working on sweater

I hope to finally finish the hoopskirt by tomorrow.  I'm still debating as to how to tip the bones.  I'm low on metal u-tips and I'm not sure I liked them much anyway.  I might just use tape!

Oh, and one piece of bad news: I offered to sew another dance dress set for my ceili dance group.  There is still enough fabric left over from the other 11 dresses to make one more, and now we have more members.  I am not looking forward to it.
