wow, almost the end of february

Yikes! I totally missed the month of February!

Mostly because I haven't been doing much knitting at all-I still am working on a couple of scarves, but that's about it...I really need to get back into the swing of things.

I've been debating which projects to put back on the needles (from my 'on hold list') Probably my slouching socks...it would be nice to finish them before winter disappears! My mom's birthday is next month, and I wanted to knit something for her. Last year I purchased some yarn from Patternworks, which I had intended to make a shawl with-I just didn't get around to it. I'm still planning on making the shawl-I have an idea for a pattern I want to use-I'm just not sure I'll have it done by her birthday. I'm sure she'll understand if it's late, though. :) Maybe I'll cast it on tonight...

I picked up a copy of 'Stitch and Bitch Nation' while I was at the library the other day-I love those books by Debbie Stroller!! There's a pattern for a cardigan I'd like to try-it's called Fairly Easy Faire Isle. I want to learn how to knit faire isle, and I'm thinking about trying to teach it to myself...first I have to finish some of my other projects! LOL.

Well, that's about it for now-here's to knitting!
