Of course, I'm still happy to actually accomplish something and this is what I just finished - a tweedy scarf for my father for Christmas. The yarn is a wool/silk blend, soft and touchable. So simple - just plain knitting, but I like it. In November I'm signed up for a class on cables - that should be challenging for me, and will expand my repertoire beyond knitting and purling.

Hmm, I'll have to try my hand at knitting again. I've always begun projects but never finished them. 'Tis the season to cuddle up with warm wools, though :)
