First, I finished the back of The Collar's sweater. I know have only the two front pieces before I sew it together. I knit the sleeves first, and at the same time, so those are finished!
I also finished a pair of socks for The Collar. They are knit in Online sock yarn in nice fall colors. Simple 2X2 ribbed leg, short row heel, plain stockinette foot, and a wedge toe. I think that I've finally discovered the sock style that fits him best. 
I also finished the Lutea Lace-Shoulder Shell from IK Summer 2007. I made mine in wool, so I'll wear it as a vest this fall/winter. It was a fun knit, and I kind of wish I'd knit in in cotton instead so I could wear it now. Oh well. I'll need it more later on, anyway.

Great looking sweaters and socks!! I'm working on a Cambridge Jacket for J, too...let's just say that you're rolling along a LOT faster than I am. I think your color selection is MUCH better (mine is charcoal grey - ack!)
Thanks! I have about an inch of the left front, and I feel motivated to finish so maybe by October I'll be finished. I am lucky that The Collar likes color--orange is his favorite. His next socks will be orange too!
The shell came out better than I thought, and it's more flattering than I first supposed. Blocking was really important for it.
