I cannot believe how this year is whizzing past our ears!
First off a little FO – a pair of baby booties for a new tiny baby at the end of the office baby boom. This is the wonderful daffodils pattern by Shake Your Booties and they’re so wee and tiny! I knitted these on 2.0mm needles as my gauge was too large on the 2.5s I used last time.
For the last however long I’ve been participating in a monthly thread on one of my Ravelry boards that lets you set monthly goals and work towards them. For whatever reason I’ve never posted about them on the blog but I’m trying to be better about using it more so here’s my goals for this month.
May should be a good month for knitting – I’ve got a good few days off this month what with bank holidays and little planned. My parents are down at the end of the month which is always fun.
Spin 50g of fibre – I’ve picked out some 21 micron Merino tops I bought last year from Wingham Wool works at Wonderwool.
Knit the next Segment of the Tree skirt. 5/11 – nearly half way done!
Socks! Planorbis Corneus is my pattern this month
Weave 10 squares on my Zoom Loom
Finish Cas Dragon
Complete a set (5 colours) of stripes on Annalise’s blanket
Start Here Be Dragones
Start Everdeen – I’m hoping that this might be “easy” enough to do when Mum and Dad are down, and to take with me for knit and natters until you get to the lace part at the bottom. I’ve not bought the pattern yet though!
You might have noticed Whipoorwhil has fallen off the list. It’s still on the needles, but at the moment it’s SO easy and has no major time restraints on it, unlike Here Be, Everdeen and Cas Dragon which have solid set limits, even though they ARE February 2016. It will be my Knit and Natter project, after I get past the easy bit on Everdeen.
It’s a bit of a heart break truth be told to leave it and not work at it ALL of the time I love it so – but I know it will be there for me when I’ve finished these few projects!
