Woot almost done and 1 day to go

Finishing up the 3 gifts due on Friday.
The purse is completely finished.


The Ipod cozy just needs to be felted


and the bib just needs straps (I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but I bind off like a washcloth, then pick up stitches and do an icord)

Feb FO's and March plans

YAY I finished the 3 baby hats for my friend's nephews, and all arrived before the babies. If I ever get pictures of them in the hats I'll post them.

Ended up frogging the blanket and haven't started on it again, but that baby isnt' due til August so there's time.
I started a bib today for a baby shower the end of this month.
That's it I think..... I just got my order from Knitpicks, and I've mostly been knitting for others. Time to make some things for me!

arghhhh.... I'm falling behind!

february is really getting away from me already!

the two bags I am working on are giving me the irrates... so I have put them aside for the moment

the socks are also annoying me... so they are in the time out corner

I had five teddies to finish... two are done, with three more to go



I removed the advent socks from this month's list... as I don't need them until christmas!

also I had to add in a swap item, which I had forgotten about...

January Update / February Goals

I've finished all of my January items for this month. I've completed the Baby Shower Gift as of today, but I changed some of the items. I couldn't find a baby bootie pattern that I liked, so I nixed those, and I don't feel like knitting a bib, so the set is just the hat, cardi, and a wash cloth.

Here are the hat & cardi, complete w/ buttons!


I also finished an item for the Q1 Challenge... the Rowan Tapestry Scarf. It's probably going to be a Christmas present for a co-worker or somebody.


I updated the list, and now I only have one goal for January. To finish a pair of socks for myself. They were my traveling socks during Thanksgiving, and I had to set them down in favor of Christmas Knitting & then Gift Knitting. My gift to myself in February is to finish them! If I finish them, my next goal is to finish Callie (not currently listed) for myself as she was also set down in favor of Christmas Knitting.

I'm also making some very nice progress on Dina's Socks & I hope to have them done soon. I've been in an easy stockinette-in-the-round frame of mind, and I'm so happy that I'm knitting them 2 at a time. lol. :)
