My goal of finishing one thing a month is going to fall a wee bit behind. I was trying to finish the log cabin blanket by the end of January (that'd be today), but I'm not quite going to make it. Every evening this week I've been working steadily on it for a couple hours before bed, and had I done that again last night I'd say I had a shot at finishing it tonight. But I couldn't manage it last night. I was incredibly tired for some reason ... every once in awhile (okay, maybe once a week) I have a night where I just lay around and completely veg after dinner, doing nothing, falling asleep by 9:00 or so, and getting about 10 hours sleep. That's fine with me, obviously I needed the rest, so I never fight it when I feel one of those nights coming on. Rest is good.
But consequently, I got a little behind in the finishing schedule. I completed the border on two sides and part of the third side this week. So I still have what's left of the third border and all of the fourth border, plus weaving in all the yarn ends on the back. For a time I was doing that as I went along, then I just kind of got tired of it and stopped ... so now there are dozens of them still to weave in. I don't mind, but it's going to take awhile.
So the blanket probably isn't going to be done till this weekend. But the good news is, it WILL be done this weekend!!
I'm trying not to obsess about my next project already. I'm not sure whether I'm going to make myself a pair of socks first - I've been wanting a pair since I made the three pairs of Christmas socks in the last couple months - or get out those 2 skeins of stash yarn and work on that scarf I have in mind.
Of course, the pirate coat will be an ongoing project as well, because I would like to get that done by May (the first event of the year that I'll be attending), and to do that, I'm going to have to work pretty steadily on it, amidst whatever knitting project I have going as well.
On that note, I have some time before work ... I think I'll knit.
