Little Coffee Bean Cardigan, Cascade 220

Hands and Feet:

2aat Toe-up Socks, Lorna's Laces
Morgan, Loops and Threads Woolike - Frogged, as I've only done five rows on it and my gauge is probably different a year (or more) later

New project was successfully completed, as were another pair that I started for a friend.  I finished the socks and frogged both blankets.

I've also decided to knit my mom a new February Lady Sweater, but I have to order yarn for it still.  The one I started will be for me.

January Goals:  Finish the poncho and perhaps the baby cardigan, though I still have time (knock on wood).  And hopefully start my mom's sweater.

Baby cardigan complete!  Poncho ... put aside for Mom's sweater (well, now a shawl, she changed her mind!).  I did start a new project to use up yarn bought for a Christmas gift, but I'm learning two-colour brioche stitch to make it 'worth' it.  I also frogged the gloves, as I'd only knit half an inch of them and who knows what my gauge is now!

February Goals:  Finish Mom's shawl and maybe the poncho ... and maybe (just maybe?) the scarf?
