EEk last minute additions

I was just reminded that 2 of my friends have birthdays in the next week and a half. So in addition to the bby knits due on the 11th, I'm also knitting an Easy felted purse with some Bernat Felting Natural Wool and a pair of bangles I bought at AC Moore.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the other friend, she doesn't go out as much and usually carries a diaper bag more than a purse....
Luckily, its a fast knit - this was about an hour ago and now I'm almost halfway done!

I stalled once again on my mom's Waving Lace socks. These will be finished one day... just not any day SOON. lol. I put it on my list for April, but I don't know if it will happen.

My goal list for April/Q2 is this:

- Waving Lace Socks for my mom for Mother's Day (April 30)
- Peacock Feathers for my mom for Christmas (Q2)
- All three pairs of my PIF socks, plus the Charity PIF item. (Q2)

It's a lot of knitting, so we'll see how it goes.

March FO's and April Goals

So... I couldn't find my goals for March, but I'm pretty sure I got every thing done. All 3 of my friend's new nephews have hats, and the woman at work who's due next month has a hat and a bib.
Also finished up the felted mice for my cats, which, were sadly ignored. Luckily my mom was quite impressed!

For April,
1 more set of Bib and Hat for another pregnant co-worker.
Working on a Kitty Pi for my 2nd cat who we adopted about a month ago. I'm excited because its my 1st attempt at knitting in the round. I got it onto circular needles last night. Just started it March 25th so I'm pretty proud of myself!




Also cast on and I've done about 5 rows on a baby blanket for my friend due in July. I hope to have that finished by May.
And, I know its too late for the 1q Challenge, but I bought yarn to make Christmas Present scarves for 2 friends of mine.
