This “no real set goals” thing really seems to have worked this month!
What have I knit?
- Matching socks for Miss J & Mr.S (2 pairs total)
- Creamsicle socks
- Finshed up the Bleue et Noir socks
- “Autumn is Coming” anklet-ish socks
- Evangeline
- the teal Barbie dress
- Finished one sock of my Whitewater Monkeys
And, I’ll likely have another pair of socks done by Sunday. Oh – the coolest part of the pair I’m almost done? They’re pair #12 for this year (and pair #7 of the 52 pair plunge II)! I will have actually finished one of my resolutions (to knit 12 pairs of socks this year)! I’m so excited about this – especially because it was starting to look like I might not make it for awhile! And here I am with plenty of time to spare!
I also came *thisclose* to finishing Mr.S’ hat – in fact, I did finish it – but then discovered that I need to add 1-2″ in length to it! I’ll get back to that as soon as I finish the sock I’m on as there’s no huge rush for it yet (need the socks for the chilly evenings/mornings, where the hat can’t really be used yet).
Ok, so now it’s time to move on to September…
I know that I didn’t really set any *real* goals for August, and that really seemed to work well, but I feel that I need to get back to goals for September. Why? Have you looked at the calendar lately?! It’s (almost) September, and I still have gift-knits that still need to be tended to!!!
So, for September, I’d ideally like to knit:
- Finish Miss J’s sweater (I’ve started it, but I want to write a separate post about it)
- Finish my Whitewater Monkeys
- Finish Mr.S’ hat
- DH’s hat
- Miss J’s hat
- My hat
- The second pair of Evangeline mitts
- Re-start Dad’s socks
Doesn’t seem too bad – now if only I can keep focused!
