Lanthir Lamath, Handspun from Ireland (out of yarn)
Clapotis, Patons Classic Wool

Hats:

Forester Hat, Debbie Bliss Merino DK


Um.  Right.  I did finish the gloves and I have been working on the Lanthir Lamath scarf, but I also started another three projects, so I'd say I've made absolutely no progress.

So.  February goals.  Complete the hood section of the Lanthir Lamath scarf.  I'm almost half-way through, so this should be do-able.  Also, I haven't bought yarn since early December.


I finished most of the hood section early in the month, and then promptly ran out of (handspun from Ireland!) yarn.  I'm going to a yarn store tomorrow morning to see if I can find a close replica.  Mary Maxim had nothing close.  Also, I made good progress on the hat!  So I don't consider this month's goal to be completely lost.

March goals:  Keep looking for a replacement yarn.  If one is found, finish the bloody scarf.  Until one is found, work on the hat (and finish it, too, maybe ...).
