Challenging Update

The September Challenge is over, and the October Challenge has begun! So how did I do on my September goals? Let’s see:

  • Finish the ladybug sweater – possibly including knitting the matching hat. The sweater is done, the hat is cast on.
  • Finish Devan – again, possibly including knitting a matching hat and/or socks. The sweater and socks are done. The hat is awaiting the needles currently being used for the ladybug hat.
  • Start and finish the October cross-stitch Done!
  • Finish embroidering the felt Christmas ornaments I started way back when. Done!
  • And if I can find yarn for it, I really want to make a Jayne hat (or two?) for the premiere of Serenity. Done!

The October challenge is a little different – we’re supposed to pick one “scary” project from our UFO pile and finish that. Here’s mine: the blanket poncho from heck. I can’t decide what to do with it, though – see the project page for my options. And I do have several other goals for this month:

  • Finish the ladybug hat
  • Finish the Devan hat
  • Start and finish the November cross-stitch
  • Finish a scarf I started last January
  • Make a small birthday gift
  • Make a dent in the Christmas projects

So…the chances of finishing my scary project are sort of small – but the list is scary, so that counts, right?
