[alikinch]

I'm in.  I definitely have knitter's ADD & have LOTS of projects i want to complete this next year!

Whohoo! January has begun, and we will begin on scarves!  Are there any particular scarf patterns you plan on doing?  This is my to-do list for scarves-
Yorick from knitty
Wavy from knitty
Yo drop it from SNBN
Danica from Knitty
Wavy Gravy from SNBN
maybe a few more if I finish these in a timely fashion!

I think I'll start with finishing my son's S 'n B Alien scarf.  Then next on my list is Liesel  (can be found under scarves at knittingpatterncent ral.com) and a Paton's lace scarf that's languishing in my travel knitting bag.  I bought some Shimmer from KnitPicks so I can make the Airy scarf from Last Minute Gifts.  My husband is hoping I,ll find the time to make the Linux Illusion scarf in time for Penguicon.  Now if I can just finish these hats.............

I want to do the arches & columns lace scarf http://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns/KidMerino-LaceScarf-pink.html & a cable scarf.  I also have to make a scarf/hat for my aunt's b-day before Jan 31.

I first have to finish a baby blanket for my nephew on the way & slippers for my mom (a belated xmas present).

I'd better get off this site & start knitting!

I think I am going to focus on people rather than items. January I am going to knit for BIL, SIL and niece, who live in Ohio. A scarf and hat set for each. Hopefully I will be able to bust some of my stash.

Such a great idea!  Especially for people who don't like the progression of months...

I also hope to bust some of my stash.  I'm actually finishing the Branching out scarf from Knitty, that was supposed to be finished by Christmas 2005, but of course I didn't quite get it done.  Then I'm prolly going to start Wavy from knitty because I have yarn in my stash for it, and I don't have any money to buy new yarn! lol.

Here's a pic of Branching out scarf I've been working on.  I've done about 15 pattern repeats and it is almost 2 feet long.  I still have a little more than half a skein of yarn left. 

This pic is horrible and doesn't show the color at all.  It is really dark green with a rainbow thread running through.

I'm actually glad the starting month is scarves- I'm working on a scarf for my boyfriend's father, a Crazy Aunt Purl's "Magic Scarf" in a reddish brown Peace Fleece wool. Very, very manly.

Well, apparently I don't know how to read because I was like "Oh yeah, January, eh? Hats. Most deffinetly."

So, I've been making hats, I'll make scarves next month 

I'll take some pictures soon and upload them!

Yay!  I finished my branching out scarf.  I blocked it last night, and this morning I wrapped it to give my grandmother tonight at dinner.  I forgot to take pics, but maybe I can get my grandmother to model for me!

I also just finished a garter stitch scarf in some yarn I had in my stash.  Here's a picture of it on the needles.  I haven't taken another pic yet.

Sorry its sideways.  I used Red Heart Light and lofty i think its called.  The scarf if very soft and fluffy.

Next up, I finishing a hat for a swap, then I'm going to start the Yorick scarf from knitty.  Anyone made this one?  I'm going to do it in pink and a different yarn.  I checked out the yarn they called for, and I just don't have any money to buy it.
