May is done, welcome June

Though I have not been hanging out here much, I have been busy trying to accomplish my May goals.
So how did I do:

1. I completed my Sideways Spencer for me (and I love it!) though not by the May 15 deadline. Finishing can certainly be tedious, but worth it when it is done!


2. I completed the fuzzy socks for my Mom's birthday and they are winging their way to her. I think that they are a bit big but we will see what she thinks!








3. I have been plugging away on my 2Q challenge project - a baby wallaby and am close to the neck.






4. I have started on the socks for A that I am making for a going away present. So far they are really fun to make, but slow going.



5. Though this was not a stated goal, I got involved in some charity knitting and made 10 hats to be donated to hospitals for premature babies. These are just 2 examples.





I have to say that I feel pretty satisfied with May. So on to my June goals, which are:
1. Finish the Wallaby - June 30 - this is for the 2Q challenge
2. Finish A's socks - June 30 - this may be a stretch for me, but I am going to try!
3. Make one hat for charity knitting - June 30
4. Start a going away present for P - to be finished by July 30
5. To pick yarn and a pattern for a present for DH by June 30

Happy summertime knitting to all!

June???

How can it possibly be June already???

I'm loving this Gift-A-Long concept... and it's keeping me mindful of always being prepared for upcoming gifts. But I'm finding that everything I've made is being given away well before Christmas. Birthdays, Mother's Day, etc.... So I need to focus some more on preparing ACTUAL Christmas gifts. Or I'm going to end up in the same pickle in December that I do every other year. Is anyone else finding this???

Goals for JUNE..

finish KD40 afghan - 75% done - asap
finish baby afghan - 90% done - by end of month
finish baby jacket - 50% done - by end of month

choose and make a gift for my brother - by June 20th
any ideas? knit or crochet... gift for a 29 year old male... married, no kids...

choose and make a gift for my daughter - by June 25th
she is turning four, so she is very easy to make for... probably a doll or soft toy of some kind
