Goals completed!  For once, eh?  Scarf is blocked, mitts are given, and I've also finished the knitting part of the Hooded Baby Skyrim Sweater.  I'm gonna line it with some flannel for some extra warmth and to keep little fingers away from the intarsia backside.

November Goals:  Finish the hat I started yesterday, and the second sleeve of the Noro/Patons sweater.  And the lining of the Skyrim sweater.  Oh, and start armwarmers for Christmas.

I didn't do a lot of knitting (or anything else) this month, so no goals reached.  I'm moving the armwarmers to next Christmas because stress is a killer (and who needs that, eh?).

December Goals:  Tyson Hat to completion.
