Out with February, in with March

Hi everybody,
It's been fun to see what a productive month February has been for many of you!
It has been a bit uneven for me. I was excited to finish my Branching Out and I managed to finish off a bag for the 1Q challenge, so that is one for me.



I started the chemo cap for my friend D that was on my list and will roll it over to March and I am going to restart the guitar strap for my son for March as well, so here is my March list:
1. Chemo cap/for D/cuz she needs it/March 10
2. Headband/for ???/holidays 08/March 20 (2nd 1Q challenge entry)
3. Guitar strap/for I/April birthday/half done by the end of March
4. Sideway Spencer/for me/springtime!/3/4s done by the end of March
5. Wonderful Wallaby/for baby W/birthday in Aprtil/started by the end of March.

Happy knitting,
Suzie (suzenew)

February's List update and FO

February's list update:

Finshed these Opal socks for my husband this month so far ...

and half way through these Helter Skelter socks, using James Brett's Marble DK yarn in pink/grey ...

Will try to finish the two cup cozies by tomorrow night too...
The rest will have to rollover into March...

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

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. :)

February list

with a focus on scarves.

Finish the Debbie Bliss silk scarf. 

Make My So Called Scarf with what's left of Jere's Malabrigo.

Finish the Left front of Sylvie's cardigan.

Another Feb FO

I finished another Feb FO for a swap pal... had hoped to knit something for her, but didn't have time so made her a project bag. Hopefully the cute fabric will compensate for the inferior workmanship. I should have made a practice bag first... oh well!





My updated Feb list:

1. Golf themed burp cloths/S&S twins/Feb 7 => DONE
2. 2 baby sweaters/S&S twins/Feb 7 => DONE
3. Project Bag/swap pal/Feb 29 => DONE
4. Celtic Cable bag/S bday/March 8
5. Clapotis/tbd/Feb 29



The Celtic bag may need a swap out if I don't get the yarn I ordered soon, or will be a carryover to March. I have some long flights ahead so hoping to make good progress on (and finish) the Clapotis shawl.

Feb list

My list for February is the following:

5 more squares for Devyns log cabin
10 more squares for babette
knit 1 more skein in ambers blanket
