February Update

Well, I didn't have a big list for February. I did finish my Blueberry Pie socks. They're AWESOME! :)



I also managed to finish socks for my friend Dina. Her birthday is in October, and since I managed to finish them, she'll get them for her birthday instead of Christmas. This is my 2nd 4th Quarter FO, so I guess that makes it a Q1ChallengeFO! :) The picture was taken very early this morning, around 1am, before I finished weaving in the ends, but the ends are woven in now.



Here's my updated list:

1) Coronet / Grandma / Christmas 2008 / Jan. 31 Finished 1/1/08
2) Strawberry Lime Socks / My Sister / Birthday (04/04/08) / Jan. 31 Finished 1/5/08
3) Baby Shower Gift (Baby Cardi, Hat, Washcloth) / Co-Worker / Baby Shower / Jan. 31 Finished 1/27/08
4) Blueberry Pie Socks / Me! / Just Because / Feb. 29 Finished
5) Waving Lace Socks / Mom / Mother's Day 2008 / Mar. 31
6) Nutkin Socks / Me! / Just Because/trying to finish UFOs / Mar. 31
7) Vesper Socks / Dina / Birthday (10/7/08) or Christmas 2008 / Oct. 3 Finished 2/24/08

20) Hat (Pattern Undecided) / Grandpa / Christmas 2008 / Dec. 25

I rearranged my list a bit, and now my goals for March are to finish my mom's Waving Lace socks as well as finishing the Nutkin socks I started back in November/December for test knitting. Nutkin socks will be for me - "just because" and because I'm trying to clear some of the UFOs off the needles. The Waving Lace socks will be for Mother's Day. :)

yay!

all of my january items are now completed... what a wonderful feeling

this bag is for a swap I am involved in... it is a slightly fancier version of your regular cotton string shopping bag... but still has those amazing stretching capabilities

I started with a flower from an old afghan pattern, then made the rest up as I went along!



BrownBerry was asking me how I get the time to work through my projects so quickly?

I'm a SAHM and my kids are on summer holidays. Every morning we go to the park. I take my craft with me, and let them play as long as they like. Some days I get a few hours worth of uninterrupted crafting! Bliss

If we stayed at home, there is no way I would get any craft done. They would be trashing the house, and I would be desperately trying to keep up with that vicious circle that is 'housework'.

I've also started to knit/crochet in public more... or even if I am visiting friends. If we are just going to gossip while the kids play together, I might as well be doing something useful with my hands... right???

I have my pom poms ready to cheer the rest of you on :)

5th FO

I just finished FO number 5 tonight. Nothing like a good murder mystery to get the knitting needles clicking. I started a scarf tonight and finished it. This one was knitted in Radiant pink (the last 4 have been knitted in Radiant as well).

They were to be Christmas gifts last year and might be this year for the teachers. Unless the kids get male teachers! lol

I will post my list later as I want to knit some heart dish cloths for Valentines Day. My sister has said she would take some scarves and dish cloths to her work to see if anyone wants any.

Well the movie is back on! Ohh! I am watching the Jane Doe mysteries on the Hallmark channel.

Here's the photos of the recently finished scarves.
