state of languishing projects

There has been knitting going on over here.. I am on row 162 of the never-ending sleeve. I'm hoping to finish this sleeve in the next few days so I can start fresh on vacation with sleeve nombre deux. The yarn is light, the sleeve pattern is easy, making it perfect for travel. I can see how people get really into sock knitting.
Here's my progress on the Christmas-tree-skirt, aka, basketweave blanket:

There's three skeins in there, and I have another three to go. It should turn out to be a nice sized rectangle for the crib.
Lastly, the scarf:

Still not crazy about knitting this, but I'm picking at it. Row by tedious row. It's not that the pattern is hard, it's just not that much fun anymore. I do like how it knits up, so I'm plowing through.
Little Abby has been keeping watch at her favorite spot. A few months ago, she discovered windows. (Yes, she's a little slow, but in her defense, most of the windows are a bit high for her. We're on the second floor, and she has to look down to see anything good. It's a bad angle for her.) Anyway, her best view is from the recliner, where she can see the row of mailboxes. She loves mail-time.

Great projects - the basketweave blanket is the perfect baby color. Abby is so cute watching out the window. :-)
