Sweet.  The Newborn Vertebrae is finished!  I may still have to block it ... had a tiny moth scare (in the form of yarn breakage) but I think it's ok to bring into the apartment now.  I am halfway through clue 3 of the MKAL, so half-completed that goal.  I started some baby mittens for a friend, and I figure I'll finish them tonight during our WvW raid.

October Goals:  Finish those mitts and the Lanthir Lamath scarf (by the way, the yarn I bought almost perfectly matches!).

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.

Well, Aeolian is complete, and a new needle purchased.  The cat got put to the wayside and I worked on the Newborn Vertebrae instead.

Success!  I finished the hood section and much more (but still ran out of yarn).  I've got about 2 feet left to knit, and I'm really hoping the yarn I bought yesterday will mostly match.


August Goals:  Finish Parlour Cat, Aeolian (I knit this one at work), and get a new needle for Easy Top-down Raglan (mine broke at the cable - that's what I get for buying cheap Wal-Mart needles).

Lanthir Lamath, Handspun from Ireland (re-started on a smaller needle ... here's hoping)

June Goals:

Almost finished the Old Flames Scarf (accidentally left it at work during my vacation) but I've just the bind-off row to do, so that'll be done.  Quaggan hat is finished and delivered (recipient loves it!) and I haven't given a thought to the Wispy Cardi.

June goals:  Finish the Old Flames Scarf and do something about that Wispy Cardi.  Also finish the Hooded Baby Skyrim Sweater.  I've just been laid off from work today, so I should have plenty of time to knit.

Two out of three ain't bad!  The scarf is done and I've frogged the sweater.  I also started another four projects (but one is already done!) and re-started the scarf that I ran out of yarn for.  Hoping that the smaller needle will save me some yarn.

July Goals:  Finish the hood section of the Lanthir Lamath scarf.  I've just started the hood section, so I think I can do this if I work on it and nothing else.

Dodged a Bullet That Time!

Whew, that was close!

I've successfully (after three weeks of searching) found a job.  It's really good; I start two Mondays from now.

So, one more week of 'vacation' and then back to a regular routine.  I really don't mind that it'll cut into my knitting time.  I spent most of my time on Ravelry anyway!

What Day Is It??

I'm having trouble keeping track of which day it is.  I think it's Friday today, but yesterday I was convinced that it was Wednesday.  Please, employment fairies, find me some work!

Gonna post pictures of all my WIPs.  If I can find them!

February Lady Sweater - Cropped

2aat Toe-up Socks

Toe-up Socks

Lanthir Lamath

Newborn Vertebrae

Hooded Baby Skyrim Sweater

Rosemary Cardigan

Quivira Coat

Wispy Cardi

Old Flames Scarf

Aeolian

Snowflake Blanket

Uh, yeah, that first one is new.  I need something to wear over a dress next weekend (I think it's next weekend) and nothing really looked like what I envisioned except the February Lady Sweater.  But it's too long, so I'm cropping mine and doing it in stockinette stitch.

Oh, there are two WIPs that aren't pictured (Orchid Thief Shawl and that other scarf I keep threatening to frog if I ever find it) because they're locked up in our storage unit.  Someone keeps locking the storage room door and I swear, if I ever catch them, I'm gonna ... probably just ask them nicely to stop locking it.  Lol!
