The end of January

I didn't have actual goals written down for January, but I can tell you what I did.
I joined the Block-a-Month group on Ravelry and so made the January square, and will make the February square in the coming weeks!

My self-imposed sock club socks need to be finished at the end of February, and that might happen. I did finish some in January.

I made 2 dishcloths and half a scarf while in travel limbo last weekend.

I started a shawl! Silly me!

It is so pretty and fun, so I haven't actually paid much attention to my lovely cardigan.

Oh! I was going out the other day and thought I should take a sock... But the socks I am supposed to be knitting require me to look at a pattern once in a while, which makes them unsocial. So... I cast on another pair! Yes, silly me again!

These will be kid-sized, and are plain old plain old, so I can knit them on the subway or while playing Scrabble or drinking coffee. 

Now, I can tell you what I mean to finish by the end of February:

1. All those UFO socks, which now means I will knit one Waving Lace and one and a half Embossed Leaves. Yikes.
2. A square for February. No prob.
3. I did think I'd have the cardi finished by the end of February. Does that mean I have to put aside the shawl? How about this: I'll have made significant progress on either the cardigan or the shawl?!

I am typing this while watching the live stream of news from Egypt... Rumours of damage to antiquities (ETA: a couple of mummies were damaged before looters were turned away from the museum). Vigilante security groups setting themselves up. Buildings on fire and people are dead. Maybe what sock I knit doesn't really make much difference...
