September Challenge Update

We’re halfway through September, so how am I doing on my goals so far?

  • Finish the ladybug sweater – possibly including knitting the matching hat. Not so good. I haven’t really done anything with this one yet!
  • Finish Devan – again, possibly including knitting a matching hat and/or socks. Done! Well, the sweater is – we’ll see about the hat or socks.
  • Start and finish the October cross-stitch Done and at the shop for stretching!
  • Finish embroidering the felt Christmas ornaments I started way back when. I can’t find the pattern so I’m winging it, but there were three (out of six) done and one part done when I picked it up. Now there are four done.
  • And if I can find yarn for it, I really want to make a Jayne hat (or two?) for the premiere of Serenity. One hat is done, and I have enough yarn for a second!

I think by the end of this weekend I will be able to knit the second Jayne hat, block the ladybug sweater, and finish another ornament. And maybe start the socks or a hat to match Devan – since that will be the sweater Carrie will wear sooner, it’s a higher priority than the ladybug hat.

I think finishing everything will be a stretch, especially since I still need to steek and sew the ladybug sweater, but we’ll see – it’s only halfway through September, and look how much I’ve accomplished so far!
