I thought it might be fun to update this list on the first
of every month. I'll be in Iowa, so will post a little early. Not as many
changes as I'd like, but I'm okay with my quilting and knitting progress.
1. Quilt tree – I really need some focused time for this,
and that is not happening right now. I'm keeping it on the list, though,
because it is a high priority.
2. Bending the Rules still
needs my attention.

3. Make one quilt for Camp Erin. Camp Erin is a bereavement
camp for kids who have lost a family member. Each camper receives a quilt and
teddy bear when they arrive. I'm going to use the Tiles pattern by Kim
Brackett, found in her
Scrap Basket Strips and Squares book.
1. Diamondback Socks have become a TOAD – trashed object
abandoned in disgust. My troubleshooting skills for knitting are just not that
great and I don't love them enough to start over, so I've got another skein of
yarn to add to the stash. This year is all about enjoying the process. That
didn't happen with these socks.
2. Oblique Scarf – finished and needs blocking.
3. Hitofude sweater.
I've decided to postpone this one until a little later in the year. It looks
complicated enough that I will need to pay attention and not just knit. Can you
say lesson learned with socks? J
So, for now I'm choosing to knit:
3. Continue knitting
hats for charity. I'm using up sock yarn much faster than I do when making
socks, that's for sure!
Update: After writing this post, I realized I needed to take
a day and just get something d-o-n-e! One Camp Erin quilt is cut out and ready
to go and Bending the Rules is cut out as well. It's beginning to look like my
February is going to involve more travel than sewing, but I'll be ready for
March.
