April 2009 goals

Wow, I failed. Again.

1. Work on Mountain Peaks – Done
2. Finish Mom’s convertible mittens – Not done
3. Start and finish at least one Eleanora sock – Not done
4. Start a sweater – Not done

Although I technically achieved my first goal, I actually made negative progress. (More on that in a future post. No, seriously. I have a draft of that post saved.)

I’m going to postpone goal #2 until later in the year, since now it’s too warm for Mom to use them. As for the other two, I’m keeping them for this month.

This month’s goals:

1. Finish Mock Wave Cable Socks
2. Finish Shetland Shorty
3. Start and finish Rudyard
4. Start Eleanora socks
5. Start a sweater
6. Work on Mountain Peaks

So, what about the other two FO posts I promised last month?

I ended up frogging Kipling because it doesn’t fit my niece. I’m going to make her Rudyard instead, because a) it’s bigger and b) the construction will annoy me less.

As for the Mock Wave Cable Socks, I made a gigantic error in the leg, and I didn’t notice until I was already halfway through the gusset. (No, I don’t know how I managed this.) And then my perfectionist streak kicked in, so instead of shrugging the error off, I ripped back to fix it.

Ugh. I really want to make positive progress this month!
