I managed to get two out of the three items on my February list finished, and I am so proud of myself! On the left is a sampler-sized tam from a class I took in January with Beth Brown-Reinsel. It is knit with four colors of Brown Sheep Nature Spun, and I have had it in my mind to give it as a gift to a friend who is having a baby, since I'm pretty sure it would fit.
On the right, a pair of socks I call "Go Redskins! socks." They are for Greg, who is married to my niece Liz, and who is a big Washington Redskins football fan. One of my plans for 2008 is to make a pair of socks for each of my nieces and nephews and their respective spouses/partners. I used Encore Worsted for these socks, since I didn't want to use something that would need to be hand washed, or require any other special laundering treatment. I'm really pleased with the way they turned out.

My third project, a pair of socks for another niece's husband, didn't even have a chance to get started, because the yarn is on backorder. I've decided that doesn't count, since it's out of my control ...
I am loving this whole thing though - seeing everyone else's projects helps me keep going!
