Another FO... days are flying by...

I can't believe it's Nov 23rd! One more FO (and another is just waiting for buttons).

This wasn't even on my list, but this Prismatic Scarf is for a coworker:





(great pattern that looks good on both sides!)
- JavaNut

February/March Goals/Lists

February:

- Fingerless Mittens - Finished (from January) - is a gift for Christmas 08
- Woven Stitch Scarf - Started (triggers wool allergies so it'll be slow)
- Beret - Started

March:

- Continue Woven Stitch Scarf (gift)
- Finish Beret (gift)
- Start new Fingerless Mittens (gift)
- Start Socks (for me)

First FO for February

These are #1 on my February list. A set of three scarves for Stephanie needed in March:

YAY, I finally got something off my February list finished! I doubt I am going to get any of #2-5 of my list finished. Though #2 is a maybe as it is for a Mother's Day gift. Easter is so early this year so Mothering Sunday here in the UK is March 3rd!

I am not even sure which project bag the #2 purple throw is in and if it has gone beyond the first few rounds of crochet! Only 8 days of February left so Good Luck with your goals everyone!

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. :)

Changing out an item

I am changing an item out on my January gift list. I was planning on making a scarf for a friend and I had bought the yarn. I finally found a pattern that i really liked and i started full speed ahead. but now I don't like the way the yarn looks with this pattern. and since I like the pattern more than the yarn, I am going to postpone this project till I find a yarn that I like. However, I am going replace the item with a hat for my husband for valentines day. The deadline for the hat is still the end of january though. Hopefully this project will go much better than the scarf project. I'll keep you posted.
