Knitting Goals – August, 2016

With company and cleaning and cooking getting ready for company, I totally missed posting my August knitting goals. Here’s my July report:

Since July 1 (today) is a Friday, the On the Needles post will be a bit later in the day today.

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, here’s the first of my monthly knitting goals blog post. Please join me in listing your goals if you’d like.

Projects I had hoped to get done in July, 2016:

1. Camp Loopy – Begin July 1 and finish by July 31. I will be making Go, Buffalo! using Cascade 220 Sport in pink and peach (for Addie). Did NOT finish!  🙁
2. Tour-de-Sock #4 – Pattern comes out this aternoon at 2 p.m. (my time). Finished!
3. Tour-de-Sock #5 – Pattern comes out July 11.  Finished!
4. Tour-de-Sock #6 – Pattern comes out July 21.  Finished!
5. Staring at Stars KAL at ESK – July 1 – September 30. I will use Numma, Numma Texas Toasty in Blue Corn Masa color. Got the swatch done. Will start knitting soon!
6. Mystery KAL in the Solid Socks group – July 1 – August 31.  Haven’t started yet. Saw the pattern finished and I do want to do it.
7. Solid Socks Group – Monthly solid color challenge. Hopefully I can double dip here and use a solid for one of the TdS socks or the July/August mystery and kill two birds with one stone (I’m not really killing any birds!) Done!
8. Stained Glass Cowl – Denise and I are going to do this on our blogs beginning September 1.

 

Projects I Hope to Get Done in August:

1. Get Staring at Stars  (KAL at ESK) done.
2. Plain Jane Toe Up socks using Miss Babs BFF.
3. Plan Jane Toe Up Socks using Goldilocks Falling Star yarn.
4. Somewhere Else socks using Pagewood Farms Yukon Sock yarn.
5. Finish Asgard & Rivendell socks
6. Knit Partly Sunny Shawl.
