Know how I said I didn't want the sock to be the knitted Thing for February? Well, it was.
I made progress on the stash-busting sweater, but it didn't get done. I meant to finish it during Craft Weekend in New York, but then I didn't bring enough yarn, so I stopped, and I just didn't pick it up again.
I also didn't finish the dress. It's still at the point where it was -- zipper pinned in, and needing to be finished and hemmed -- but life got in the way. I got stressed, and frustrated, and just kept knitting and knitting -- and not on the sweater.
Case in point: I bought four hanks of Malabrigo Silky Merino on Thursday for a shawl. Which, thanks to some traveling this weekend, is seeing some pretty decent progress.
So there we have it. It's the first weekend in March, and although I finished the sock, I didn't meet my other crafting February goals. And now, instead of knitting on this lovely train ride through Pennsylvania, I'm tapping out a blog post on an iPhone.
But I've come clean. And March will hopefully be better, and more calming, and won't thwart my plans to Craft All the Things.
What do you want to do better this month?
