Here were my goals from last week:
- Mama’s Bukid – Page, 5, row 10 – FINISH ROW 10 – DONE
- Celtic Solstice – finish piecing the backing! – DONE. Well, I think I’m done. I got it all pieced together and then I trimmed it up to square it up. I was so tired being on my knees on the floor that I didn’t have the energy to measure and see if it finished at 120×120. I hope it did. I’ll have to measure it next week.
- 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. – DONE BUT NOT DONE. I wrote down a list so technically it’s done. But it’s not a great list and I’m not sure I’ll submit it. I really should because what makes it a great list? I don’t know. But it wasn’t inspiring. What would make a UFO list inspiring? I don’t know but these are the thoughts going on in my head.
- Rainbow Garden – do a little bit of work on this on Sunday. – DONE.
- 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. – DONE.
- 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. – DONE. I got the sleeves to the point in the pattern where it says I’m done and I need to start the cuffs. I had Kayla try it on a few rows ago and it was fitting well. At the time she asked me to make the sleeves so that it came a few inches (about 3) past her wrists so I’m not sure if I’ll put a few more rows in stockinette and then start the cuff or start the cuff now and have a few extra inches of cuff. We’ll see.
- Cowl – continue to do a round a day on this project. – DONE. I didn’t do every day but I did most days and that’s good!
- Warm and Snug socks – February pattern for the Cosy Sock Club
And for this week’s goals, here’s what I want to get done.
- Mama’s Bukid – Page, 5, row 11 – I’m halfway through row 11 so I want to finish it this week.
- Celtic Solstice – measure the backing and prep the batting. Find a place to quilt this sometime next week.
- UFO list – finalize this and bring it to my guild meeting to turn in.
- Rainbow Garden – do a little bit of work on this on Sunday.
- Knitting projects:
- Derive socks – March pattern for the Wanderlust Sock Club
- These came out on 3/1 and I started the cuff (I work my socks cuff down). I’ve got all the ribbing done and I am starting the pattern of the leg. Each pattern repeat is about 12 rounds. I usually do not make my socks very long in the leg area but I would like to see how these feel longer than I normally make them. I think if I made them the length I usually make them it will be about 2 pattern repeats (about 24 rounds) so I’ll try to get in 3 pattern repeats this week. If I like how the pattern is knitting up, and I have the time, I may even do a 4th pattern repeat before I start the heel.
- Weasley Sweater for Kayla – I need Kayla to try this on again and determine if I should do the ribbing of the cuff now on the sleeves or continue in stockinette a bit longer.
- Cowl – continue to do a round a day on this project.
- Derive socks – March pattern for the Wanderlust Sock Club
Happy Crafting!
