I've got loads to finish this month, if my wishful thinking list is anything to go by.
Finish Agnes
Finish the 6 sox kal sock
Finish Hamilton
Finish Scoop du jour.
In order to accomplish this(!) in only three weeks, I've set myself weekly targets.
By the end of this week (by Sunday bedtime) I should have finished:
7 inches of Agnes's front. 1.25 inches done. 5.75 to go.
The leg of the last 6 socks kal. Ribbing nearly done.
The first sleeve of Hamilton. Not going so well.
And the back of Scoop du jour. Going very well, just an inch left before the start of the armhole shaping. That blob in the centre is a safety pin.
There's only one evening and two weekend days to go. I'm thinking to myself that the Scoop and the sock will certainly be finished (just the leg and back, mind) but Agnes and Hamilton are flagging. I'm taking bets now. I can see me doing a lot of May knitting with nothing to show at the end of the month! I have the Kim Hargreaves kits tempting me. And the sock yarns. And lace! I haven't knitted lace for months. I've promised a work colleague one of those one skein koigu scarves. It would be nice to give it to her before our hot summer starts (someone mentioned a heatwave on the way)
Off to knit!
Will there be time to eat and drink? You'll do it, I know you will ;)

That's a lot of knitting! Good luck. The weather forecast is for rain this weekend, so at least you can stay inside and knit.

No rain so far here in West London! Very glad it stayed dry yesteday, daughter running junior school spring fair on Turnham Green. I really don't think I could have deadlines like that, I suppose I might get more done but it would be too much like work, much rather knit as the mood takes me. At least you can move between projects, I would hate just to have the one on the go. Low boredom threshhold or what?

Maybe we should bring our target lists to Liberty's and tick things off every week. We could all encourage each other along the way :)
