Here were my goals from last week:
- Mama’s Bukid – Page, 5, row 10 – get halfway through row 10. ==> DONE!
- Celtic Solstice – finish piecing the backing – Again, I’m not going to be able to do this this week. This weekend is QuiltCon so I will not be able to get to this project over the weekend. ==> I hope to get to this this coming weekend. I have some errands to run and some major tasks (my corporate taxes is one of them) but I hope I will be able to get this done this coming weekend.
- Rainbow Garden – Since I’ll be at QuiltCon this weekend this is another project I will not be able to work on. Oh well. I’m really excited about hanging out at QuiltCon and hopefully meet some fellow Twilters! ==> I spent some time at QuiltCon but with our trip last weekend I was not feeling the itch to be at QuiltCon. I have to remember this next time around not to plan too many things one weekend after another.
- Knitting projects:
- Warm and Snug socks – February pattern for the Cosy Sock Club
- Work on the foot this week. I finished the heels this weekend and now I’m working on the foot. I hope to get a lot of the foot done this week so I can finish these socks by next week. I think I’m right on schedule. I’m sure faster knitters are laughing at me right now but it’s all stockinette knitting and it is so BORING. I can’t sit and do round after round of stockinette knitting. Instead I try to do about 5 rounds per day so by the end of this week I should be at the 35 round mark. I need about 48 rounds for my foot so if I follow the plan I should be on track for finishing next week. 🙂

And for this week’s goals, here’s what I want to get done.
- Mama’s Bukid – Page, 5, row 10 – FINISH ROW 10
- Celtic Solstice – finish piecing the backing!
- I also need to get a list of my UFOs jotted down for my guild meeting in a couple of weeks. We are doing a UFO challenge and I’m not sure what UFOs I have. I know I have a bunch but it’s always helpful to have a list so I can be mindful of what I’m working on.
- Rainbow Garden – do a little bit of work on this on Sunday.
- Knitting projects:
- Warm and Snug socks – February pattern for the Cosy Sock Club
- I have one more stripe for the foot and then I plan to finish the toes and this project will be a done. And since I used 2 balls of knit picks felici, that’s 2 balls I can mark on my “used” yarn for this week.

- Weasley Sweater for Kayla – continue to work on the sleeves. I am at the point where I need to have Kayla try this on. That will tell me how much longer I need to go.
- Cowl – continue to do a round a day on this project.
Happy Crafting!
