Goals and Update

I don't feel I did very well on my goals for September, but I think outside circumstances and a new obsession with knitting played a large part in that. I'm thankful for my new job, but it doesn't half eat into my stitching time! The office is two bus rides away, and one bus is a rattly old thing, so I'm taking my knitting along instead of my stitching :o) And now Uni has started again, that's two evenings down, and that doesn't include all the reading and such I have to do!

My pile of little hats for the Big Knit is increasing - don't forget to comment on how many you think I will make if you'd like to win something hand knitted by me! The Hermit is in charge of the box of hats now, so I can't be bribed into finishing at a certain number as I have no clue as to how many I've done :o)

So, without further ado, here is my goals list:

• Summer Into Autumn - The Drawn Thread - no, barely started
  
• Derbyshire - Heritage Stitchcraft - no, still not finished!
  
• HoE Prairie Schooler Exchange - yup - and thank you everybody for your very kind comments on it!
  
• Crazy Exchange Birthday Exchange - mailed, but the person's birthday hasn't happened yet, so I can't share pics yet.
  
• Empty mending basket - no. Again.
  
• HoE Halloween Exchange - I'm going to finish this today, I'm a little behind
  
• One item 'finished' - if you count the PS exchange, then yes!
  
• One item framed - not yet!
  
• One UFO - oh dear, no.

However, in my defence, I have knitted lots of little hats, numerous afghan squares, several dishcloths, nearly a whole pair of socks, and I stitched JBW's Pumpkin, and part of a Lizzie*Kate design (before deciding it wasn't really my Halloween partner's cup of tea) so I don't think I need lashing with wet floss. Yet.

So, my October goals are:

• HoE Halloween Exchange
• Summer into Autumn - The Drawn Thread
• Lots of Little Knitted Hats
• Purple ZigZag Socks
• Mostly Black Socks
• Mattress Pincushion Exchange
• Floss Tag Exchange
• Trick or Treat - Lizzie*Kate

And that's it. If I manage anything else it will be a big bonus!
