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?

Mom's shawl done, and technically the scarf is done, but I think I'll put buttons on it and call it a cowl, because it is kinda short for a scarf.  I also bound off Hugo, so now I just have to block it and that'll be good.  I also made a hat for another WIP.

March Goals:  Block Hugo, sew buttons on scarf/cowl, and work on those socks!  And maybe on the raglan sweater.
