For the past few months, I've had 5 or fewer active projects on the needles. Compared to my usual 10-15, this is practically nothing! (Especially considering the hibernating projects are decreasing...) It does mean I'm finishing things more quickly, and I'm not feeling the lack, but it does feel odd.
So far this year, I have finished:
Butterfly Cardigan (a Starmore vest to which I added sleeves)
Hallow Moon (a shawl I cast on for a quick knit then gifted to Jen)
Cygnus Lothlorien (to which I still need to add some sort of closure)
Wheel of Time Leftie (a wonderful size for wearing!)

| Gino is an excellent model, no? |
Ves (the first project in the Tour this year, and a super-fun and addicting knit!)
Bobbie's Birthday Norie
Leuchtfeuer (September 2014 Tour project, simple and cleverly constructed)
Mitts for Linda's Birthday
Knee-High Slipper Socks for Marie's Birthday (that are too big, so I'll probably be knitting another pair to fit better for next year)
Socks for Daddy's Birthday
Mitts for Alex's Birthday
Baby Sweaters for Alex's Twins
A Baby Surprise Jacket for Lil's Grandson
Tyrion's Gift (A test knit for Lara Smoot, perfect timing since I needed some lace...)
Mitts for Veronica's Birthday (Apparently this is the year of co-worker mitt gifts!)
Mitts for Jan (started in college and FINALLY finished!!)
A Day to Remember (December 2014 Tour project--now I'm all caught up and ready for June... which is going to be a fun one!)
Purple Jackaroo (which really should have been marked hibernating at one point, but never was. Now I'm just waiting for fall to be able to wear it!)
Calli Rae's Birthday Hat
Annie's Birthday Cowl (super early! It was meant to be a Christmas gift, but she said she wanted it earlier, so it'll be for her birthday. Which means I've still not knit any Christmas gifts... but I'm still hopeful that the four for my family will mostly be done before October)
Mother's Day Socks
Reversible Circles of Lace Scarf (which needs to be blocked)
and I currently have in progress:
Arwen (which has been in DEEP hibernation while I figure out how to modify. Now I'm hoping to finish by the end of the month, and since I'm only about half done, I need to get a move on!)
Carmen's Autumn Oregon (because without a Starmore on the needles, life is less fun. But it's going so quickly! I know which one I'll cast on next, though, so it's alright.)
Father's Day Socks (in our new base, Hot Shot--a wonderful sock yarn!)
Tibetan Clouds (which has been in my queue for ages, and I wanted more lace... but it's about 75% done, so I'll need to find a new lace project to cast on shortly!)
Things to finish this year:
S... the Sheep (won't take long, I shouldn't think)
Christmas Beret (I think I don't have enough yarn, so I'll probably frog and knit some other hat)
Nashita (Still don't have an intended recipient, but I'll finish and put away I guess)
Carrot Top (It's actually done, but I don't like it. I'll probably frog and put the yarn back into stash.)
Calmer Top (No longer interested; but I have an alternate plan for the yarn. So to "finish" this will be to frog and knit the other sweater)
Knee Highs #1 (Almost done; just part of the second leg left. However, it'll take a bit of thought because I don't have the notes from the first sock...)
The kitties make excellent supervisors.
