At the beginning of this year, even though I failed miserably last year, I decided to try to knit 12 Sweaters in 2010. I also decided to knit 12 pairs of socks this year. I'm still hoping I'll be able to meet my goals, but I'm not so sure I'll be able to.
The first sweater - the Tangled Yoke Cardigan - has been completed and worn several times, I just need to get photos now.
This sweater seemed to take forever, especially the yoke cable rows, but it was an enjoyable knit as well. It's definately a new favorite!
I also started my February Sweater - a Noro Striped Vest. I started off alternting four rows of the Noro Silk Garden and Cascade 220.
I really didn't like how it was coming out and I hadn't added any waist shaping, so I ripped down to the ribbing and started again, doing two row stripes. I like it much better now.
I started a pair of socks in January and finished the first one. I still haven't cast on for the second.
These are the Dead Simple Lace Socks from Socks From The Toe Up by Wendy Johnson.
I also cast on for but did not get very far in my February pair - the Basket Weave Rib Socks from Sensational Knitted Socks.
So, March will be a month for finishing! I've also go my Gentleman's Shooting Stockings that have been on the needles since July of last year, and the February Lady Sweater that's almost done. I hope you all are having a great March - I'm so glad that all our snow has melted and the weather's finally warming up!

Nice!! The Tangled Yoke Cardi is absolutely stunning (I saw the modeled shots on Flickr). What a perfect sweater. And that vest looks extremely cool! Those colors are great.
That's a great goal for the year!
