Stockinette Hand Warmers, Sugar Bush Itty Bitty
Hats:
1898 Hat, Andre's Alpacas Sock (held quadruple) - hibernating
Mittens are finished. Work is great, and my son loves daycare.
April Goals: Make another hair tie (stashbusting and growing out my hair). Finish the worsted weight shawl. Work on the socks. Buy no yarn. Try (ha!) to not start another project (except for the hair tie).
Ahem. Um, whoops. So, it's September (not even the beginning anymore!) and I've been neglecting this blog for a few months. Sorry!
I started a few projects, including another lace-weight MKAL (I swear I'm going to finish all of them ... one day), and I've finished absolutely nothing. It's been hot. Too hot to comfortably knit. But now it's cooling off a bit and I'm out of excuses.
September Goals: Finish something.

The first mitt isn't fully done, as I still need to do the embroidery part. But the charts are complete and the written pattern is almost done.
I finished the hat, made another for my husband, and then started another for my son. I might have had that one done for January, too, but we all came down with something.
I kinda cheated on the last goal and made the prototype mitt my CYW project.
February Goals: Try not to freak out too much at the thought of going back to work and putting my son in daycare. Finish that hat (it's almost done). Work on the Rosemary cardigan, even though I'm pretty sure I'll run out of yarn first.

Two out of three ain't bad, but I didn't work on the prototype mitt at all. I finished three projects, though! The ponchetta is a birthday gift and took less than a week to knit.
January Goals: Finish first prototype mitt and work on the charts. Finish hat for Dad. Maybe cast on a Colour Your Winter project.
