jennlkFeb 1 -- swatched Sierra, Piewhacket (concentrating on this one, as I need the long cable for something else, and I'd like to have it done by the weekend)
Feb 2 -- no school or rehearsal; shoveled the driveway; piewhacket (made more essential because now I need the needle for another project, as one of the tips got stepped on and broken (wood tips, so not as bad as it seems)); bamboo triangle
Feb 3 -- Piewhacket; pondered Quabbin and Sierra swatches
Feb 4 -- Piewhacket (started the bindoff!); bamboo triangle
Feb 5 -- Bound off Piewhacket & blocked -- hrm. may not have been the best pairing. I may frog this and do something else -- I think this yarn needs stockinette to appear at its best. Will photo and ponder more. Taiyo Greenjeans.
Feb 6 -- prepped and packed for onsite at Regionals tomorrow; Taiyo Greenjeans; bamboo triangle
Feb 7 -- 10 hours onsite (snack-lunch-snack-dinner for 20 kids plus five adults), 4 hours driving; Ravenclaw
Feb 8 -- Frogged Piewhacket, cast on Pogona; Bamboo triangle; Ravenclaw
Feb 9 -- rehearsal, very last bit of layout, bamboo triangle
Feb 10 -- Pogona, bamboo triangle, ravenclaw (at DB's concert)
Feb 11 -- bamboo triangle, Pogona
Feb 12 -- prep & pack for 2 days of green room/gopher hole; Ravenclaw
Feb 13 -- "den mom" for cast/crew/volunteers at State One Act festival (second breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner for 45 people); Ravenclaw
Feb 14 -- "den mom" for the second day. No knitting or sewing.
Feb 15 -- unpacked; alpaca triangle, Ravenclaw
Feb 16 -- frogged alpaca triangle (gonna do a standard rectangular scarf); Ravenclaw
Feb 17 -- alpaca scarf, bamboo stiletto, cast on Sierra cardigan (vodka gimlet), swatched Taiyo (yes, I know that's supposed to be done first, but it's a top down cardi with a picked up button band, so I don't really need to know the exact gauge until I get to the sleeve split)
Feb 18 -- Taiyo cardigan
Feb 19 -- Taiyo cardigan, Pogona, Sierra Gimlet
Feb 20 -- Alpaca scarf, Sierra Gimlet, Ravenclaw
Feb 21 -- bulky hat, taiyo greenjeans, lace scarf
Feb 22 -- Sierra Gimlet, Taiyo greenjeans
Feb 23 -- rehearsal, updated projects & stash, dug out yarn for Grey Diamonds
Feb 24 -- started a special request slouchy hat for DB - DK weight, elastic brim, stash yarn. (if this one works out I may need to find some cotton-y yarn for a summer slouch)
Feb 25 -- more slouchy hat, mostly picking up after I dropped a stitch down five rows of mesh stitch, at which point it became easier to rip back to the stockinette section and start the mesh over
Feb 26 -- worked MSBOA Festival; more slouchy hat, now frogged because the yarn won't slouch, pulled different yarns for DB to choose from
Feb 27 -- Ravenclaw, bulky hat, blue gimlet
Feb 28 -- slouchy hat with new yarn, blue gimlet
Feb 2 -- no school or rehearsal; shoveled the driveway; piewhacket (made more essential because now I need the needle for another project, as one of the tips got stepped on and broken (wood tips, so not as bad as it seems)); bamboo triangle

(The fine print:
A Year of Making.
make something. every day.
(I will probably count "making a mess" as making something, because sometimes that's where you start.) Also, assume family feeding takes place on a regular basis, so cooking and baking will not be listed unless it's something special.)
