April roundup

You know what they say about pride, and how it goeth...

Due to circumstances far beyond my control, April should have been a wicked awesome month for getting some decent yardage on my projects, which is why added a little extra to my goals for the month. HA. I was so stressed out that I could barely manage to get through each day, let alone have the presence of mind to concentrate on a knitting project. I have knit and reknit the second sleeve of my Henley Perfected pullover an embarrassing number of times, and it's still not done. Yikes.

Finished projects
The Kaylee socks were mostly completed in March, so they almost don't even count as a finished object for April. And I did knit a tea cosy as well, in an attempt to shake off the bad knitting vibes.

Projects in process
I made no further progress on the Hedera sock this month--no commute knitting, you see. And I've got about a sleeve and a half done for Henley Perfected. I started a felted box, but the needle size was way off, so I had to rip it before I got any real progress, and I haven't revisited it since.

Stash knit down progress
20 metres to finish the Kaylee socks, about 400 metres on the pullover, and 140 metres on the tea cosy. 560 metres for April!

I hit a 20% off sale on 4 skeins of Cascade 220 in brown, and traded for 8 skeins of Rowan Yorkshire Tweed Aran. I gave up on the yarn purchase ban, obviously, and I'm glad to have gotten enough yarn in both cases for garment-sized projects.

May goals
I really, really want to get this pullover done, so I'm limiting this month's goals to three:

1. Finish the Henley Perfected pullover!
2. Finish the Hedera socks.
3. Start and finish a felted box.
