February Goals

by Stormy on February 4th, 2012 at 2:03 PM

Ok, so I’m a bit delayed on deciding what my February goals are going to be. There are so many things that I want to get done, it’s hard to narrow them down to something that is manageable in a month.

The most important goal for the month is going to be finishing the Earth and Sky shawl for Michelle. I would like to get that finished within the next week or so. I also need to finish at least one pair of socks, if not two. That may have to be my limit for this month since I really need to get working on more spinning as well. I need as much practice with that as possible!

January Knitting Goals Complete

Yeah! I did it! I accomplished all my January knitting goals.

I am almost half way finished with the Earth and Sky shawl for Michelle, I finished the Oeuf Claire Mystery socks and I am half way finished with my Loopy Ewe 1st quarter challenge. Yeah! Now it’s time to start considering my goals for February.

I also managed to spin 190 yards of fiber. It is a wool, mohair and mulberry silk blend. I still need to wash it and then I need to decide what I want to use it for.

More on January Knitting Goals

These posts are probably so incredibly boring to everyone, but they are helping me to keep on track. Perhaps I should use this blog for more than just knitting goals. Anyway….

The new pattern piece for the Mystery Sock KAL was released today and I did start picking up for one gusset but my heart just wasn’t into it today. There won’t be any time for it tomorrow but maybe Tuesday evening….

I did get about 25% done of the Earth and Sky shawl for Michelle. I’m pleased with the way it is turning out.

So, I’m still on track for meeting January knitting goals; I will just have to knit on socks like a crazy woman throughout the week.

I’ve been doing well on my reading goals. I was well on my way to the half way point of “Clan of the Cave Bear“ by Jean Auel when a friend loaned me Janet Evanoviches’ “Explosive Eighteen.” Needless to say, that is part of the reason there was no sock knitting done today.

The week ahead brings more physical therapy, teaching a knitting class at work for the first time, my own knitting class at Yarn Boutique and the first FLFF Committee meeting of the year.

I am now half way finished with my Loopy Ewe 1st quarter challenge so that is the 2nd of 4 goals accomplished.

Loopy Ewe 1st Quarter Challenge 2012

I’m also right on track with the TTL Mystery Sock KAL.

This really is not a very good photo but I will get one when I have them finished. The next clue comes out on Sunday.

Since I’m not really focusing well today I think I will spend the evening watching TV with Michael and knitting a plain stockinette stitch sock with the self-patterning yarn I bought at Yarn Garden in Littleton, NH.
