Ok, I've given it some thought!

I so wasn't ready to think about March when I posted my list for this month, so I sort of guessed haphazardly as to what I'd like to knit. But now that fresh springish breeze is blowing in my window and my head has been cleared. So:


1. Misty Garden by Jo Sharp, using the Noro Kureyon Sock yarn that Kenny got me for Xmas/ Gift pile '08/ March. 31
2. "Robin's Egg Blue Hat" (but not in blue, in green instead)/ for gift pile '08/ March 31
3. Simple cabled scarf made from leftover Shearer's Yarn from last year's sweater (I swear those leftovers have taken me so far)/ for gift pile '08/ FO



4. Diamond Modular Scarf in Noro Silver Thaw (which I got for practically nothing at the Yarn Swap my LYS hosted last week/ for Elizabeth's Xmas present '08, a co-worker extraordinairre/ finish by March 31/ WIP


(Yes, only 4 items, because I'm working on my sweater and the Misty Garden scarf is made with sock yarn. I'm not a sadist; I need some time here).

February is half-gone... an Update

This month has been fantastic for stashburning and filling the gift pile. Here's my update so far:

1. Baby socks/ for mystery baby/ FO
2. Green Frivol Hat/ Xmas '08 pile/ FO
3. EZ's BSJ with stash Lamb's Pride random superwash remnants/ for one of the babies/ FO
4. (added) EZ's BSJ, shortened to Bolero length/ for the other baby/ FO
5. Simple ankle socks from stashed Regia sock yarn/ a co-worker, Xmas '08/ Feb. 28th

As you can see, I have several pairs of friends who are having their first child later this year, one in Brevard, NC and one in New Zealand. My friends in Nova Scotia are trying to conceive their second child, so I figured three baby gifts this month would be a safe bet.

I'm also making my 2nd pair of Anemoi mittens, but these are for me. Also, I've been commissioned by a student's mother to knit her a hat, which I'm doing with a stashed blue skein of Lamb's Pride. Yup, my yarn diet continues... all the projects in this post have been done with stashed yarn! Hooray!

Oh, crap, it's February!

Well, it will be tomorrow. Ok, I'd better get this list going on here.

February Gift List:

1. Baby socks/ for baby Nordmann, due in August/ Feb. 28th WIP
2. Green Frivol Hat/ Xmas '08 pile/ Feb. 28th WIP
3. Something feltedEZ's BSJ with stash Lamb's Pride/ Xmas '08 pile Grant & Tess's baby!/ Feb. 28th (just found out they're expecting, too!)
4. Simple socks from stashed Regia sock yarn/ a co-worker, Xmas '08/ Feb. 28th

Only 4 gifts on the goal sheet this month, 'cause it's a short month and I'm seeing lots of grad work in my near future. And yes, two of these are halfway done already. Good luck, everybody. Here we go!
