And Now... For Me!

Selfish? Us? HA!
I have decided to dedicate January to selfish pursuits (selfish here meaning either for me or just for fun).

Amazingly, I managed to finish all my Christmas gifts on time. However, I've been focusing mostly on Christmas knitting since late August or so, and therefore I feel this break is well deserved.

I'll be finishing my current Starmore; Jade's Butterfly, made into a sleeved cardigan:

Butterfly... one sleeve to go!

I've about half a sleeve, button bands, collar, and finishing left to do. This may be finished by the end of the weekend, because I do love my Starmores!

I also plan to work on some other WIPs: my Cyngus Lothlorien, my Hallow Moon Shawl, and my Leftie.

Hallow Moon Shawl
Wheel of Time Leftie
















I shall certainly give in to temptation at some point and cast on Leuchtfeuer and A Day to Remember (the projects from our trips to Schleswig-Holstein and Argentina, respectively, both of which came out during Christmas knitting,) and something lacy.

I'd also like to make progress on the quilt I started piecing this fall, as it would be nice to have a properly sized quilt for my recently acquired queen sized bed!

Certain Parties disapprove of quilting. Piecing means no laps. Knitting is much preferred.
ETA: Also, I should probably hem the curtains... at some point...
