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!

Catherine's February Gift List

Well, first off, hello everyone here. I love this idea. I just got my invitation yesterday, so this will be my first post.

January is coming to a close in just a few hours, so while I am hoping to finish a hat for my sister today, I am not going to have a January list!

My February Gift list:

1. self-designed beret for Madeleine - for her birthday on October 8th.

2. Drops Sweater for Dad - Christmas? This one will take a while! I actually knit the whole body and half a sleeve for last Christmas, only to realize it was incredibly huge. I've made huge adjustments to the pattern, and am jumping back on the yarny horse. I figure if I've got 11 months, I'll be able to handle it.

3. Japanese Feather and Fan shawl (Ravelry link) for Granne, again for Christmas. I'll probably modify the pattern to be a bit smaller. Again, this will probably be in the queue for a while!

4. Chemo caps for Sarah - to be finished by the middle of March.

February List and Last QC project picked

Well now that January's goals are complete I've had a chance to write down some February goals and I finally choose between patterns for my last QC project...

so my pattern for the QC is Casablanca Crochet Quilt

My Feb Goals are:

3 Boobie Pillows /3 sons /Christmas 2008

Beaded Jute Basket but revamp it/myself or gift/ March

To finish Crochet Cable Sock/ myself/ hopefully soon..lol started it in Nov, put it down and haven't picked it up since.

That gives me 5 for Feb. and then the pattern I picked for my last Quarterly Challenge. I know I can do this as long as I don't get sidetracked with other crochet projects...lol


Good Luck everyone on your goals!!

FO January/February Goals

I completed my itty bitty January goal, the butterfly hat.

It was a fun pattern that I'll probably do again in a variegated yarn.

So what's next? My goals for February are:

• Norwegian-style pullover/3-yo son/No particular occasion/February 29
• SWTC mitered squares jacket/Mom/Birthday/March 14
  

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. :)

getting ahead

So, I'm working ahead for Christmas these days and I'm in a scarf frenzy.

In January I finished a scarf from Knitting New Scarves for a Christmas gift and the boyfriend scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts out of donegal cashmere.
I'm currently making Backyard Leaves from Scarf Style out of Fibre Company Terra.

Almost three gifts up! I forbid myself from giving these away before Christmas.

My plan for February is to make Misty Garden from Scarf Style out of my Kimono Angora and at least 2 hats for the Christmas bank.

Will be posting my pics to the Flickr group soon...

Revision - February

For my February goal, I'm going to have to change it, because the ripple just wasn't working out for me (my points on my starting row always seem more smooshed than others that I've seen). I've started some Log Cabin crochet squares and they have been lovely. I want to be at least 30 squares in by the end of February. I have 3 done right now and they take less than an hour to make. I'm using Vannas choice and a size k hook.
