February turned out to be a pretty good month.
I managed to finish both the cold sheep challenge and the Craft Challenges, I also completed a pair of Oddities for the reddit Kal. And I managed to start something for the Quarter 1 bust-a-long, though technically I might have started it in March.
I finished weaving in all the ends on projects thats have been just sitting around and were otherwise finished this week.
Some Successes:
My Ombre Cowl turned out lovely, I used it to full fill the tumblr challenge and not the quarter 1 bust-a-long, but as I’m still doing both I say pshhh.
The Fugly Forsaken hat.
I don’t much like this hat, but it’s a hat, it’s works as a hat and it full filled the requirements for the February Cold Sheep challenge.
Sort of a success:
Moddities.
These are only sort of a success because I messed up the pattern, restarted them roughly 3-4 times and only walked away with one completed pair and A tangled mess of yarn for the other. I will try the “follow the pattern” ones again, but for now…
Failure:
Grrr…
WIPS:
So I was thinking of starting the Ten Stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown as my “always meant to do this, but never did” project, I even cast it on. And I just wasn’t digging it, maybe because my brain knew I didn’t want or need another blanket right now. So I stopped.
I went back to my plans and revisited the Blarf. Then, I looked at the bag with all the scarps, and thought there just wasn’t enough for solid strips across.
So I dove into my ravelry favs and dug out the Stash Buster Shawl. Which would be perfect for all these tiny balls I had laying around.
So far I love it.
And this Braided Cowl, which won’t go towards any challenge, but it has been in my queue to long.
I’m pretty happy with this too, even if I’m not digging the yarn.
My goals for March:
- Finish another pair of Oddity, maybe with a different yarn.
- Re-start the Horde gloves.
- My corral project has been languishing.
- Finish the Scrap Shawl.
- And probably something else.
And last but not least I was reminded simply writing the post foes not post it. This is a week old already.
