Blanket finished, mitten pattern partially written up/charted, had to start the next sock project for portable knitting, and sleeves finished on raglan sweater.

So, goals sort of achieved?

I'd like to finish the raglan sweater by year's end, but I'd be content with mostly done.

December Goals:  Work on raglan, finish thumb of prototype mitt, and work a little on the mini mania scarf.


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.
