First FO for February

Here is my hubby's hat. It was a valentines day present, but I gave it to him tonight so he can start using it right away.

So sad... my list did not get done, February List

So my January list did not get done. I did complete the scarf for my friend and the dog sweater for my grandma's dog. I did not complete the hat for hubby or the baby blanket for the soon to be born niece or nephew. I am very close on the baby blanket, the knitting is done but not the finishing. I just need to weave in some ends and seam the three panels together. I am hoping to be done with it in the next couple of days. The hat is not even close, but it is a quick knit. So here is my February List I think I am going to be a little less ambitious because work has been :

1. baby blanket from January/sister-in law's baby shower/ february 16th
2. hat /hubby/valentine's day
3. hat /boss/ Feb. 29 (yay leap year)/thank you gift
4. dishcloth /mom/birthday (i'll be making a lot of these, but I am going to start with one, this month just in case this month is as busy as last month.)

Have a great weekend everyone, and Happy Knitting!

YAY! Finished Object Number 2

I finished the sweater for my grandma's dog tonight. YAY! second finished object. Here is a picture of the sweater on a stuffed animal, I wanted you to be able to see the shape of it. I just cast on the hat I am making for my husband. and I am still cruising along on the blanket for my niece or nephew. I can't believe it is the 20th already though.... this month has gone by fast so far. Hope everyone is enjoying this and working on their projects as much as I am.

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.

January Gift List

Sorry I am a day late putting up my January list. I just got home from vacation in North Carolina. Here are my January projects:

• a scarf for a friend- needs to be done by the 9th, it is half way there.
• baby blanket for my soon-to -be born niece or nephew
• sweater for my grandma's dog (was supposed to be a Christmas present but I miss judged the size and am starting over)
• another scarf (also was supposed to be a Christmas present but I got behind)

I think that is all for January. I have made progress on the baby blanket already while on vacation, I'll post some photos tomorrow.

Happy Knitting everyone.
