Just keeping my knitting plans straight

I have not posted here in some time, I know this.  I have a lot of knitting to show for it, but that will wait for another post.  I just want to spend this post keeping some of my plans straight.

From the shawl plans post in January this is where I stand:
  • Pogona- no change.
  • Herbivore- still planned.  I have gotten out the yarn I will use and wound it.  
     
  • Daybreak- planned, blogged about, I may be able to cast this on during the month of May.
  • Akimbo- no change.
  • Traveling woman-  I actually thought some more about this the other day and got the pattern.  I still need to settle on a yarn choice from stash though.
  • Ishbel-  I special ordered a new yarn in a nice color for this but that custom order will not be ready until about August, which is good since I have other things to work on first.
  • Mara- still one of my top priorities of this list.  I will most likely cast it on shortly after Daybreak and work on both with no real deadline.  This will use my Emma skein of Neapolitan.
  • Stripe Study and Different Lines- still need patterns and will choose stash.
  • Brickless and Magrathea- I want to use Miss Babs for one of these since I have never used her yarns nor have any in my stash.  I have been searching colorways and looking at them knit up on ravelry, but this is still a plan in progress.
  • Matchmaker- no change, except that I also want to make a second one possibly with Zelazny in GLAMtastic and the new colorway Red Red Wine.
  • NEW TO THE LIST: 
  1. Summer Flies- a shawl I admired before and recently decided to actually make it, most likely with Octavia or Elizabeth yarn by HaldeCraft.
  2. Nostalgia Shawl- a shawl I bought the pattern and kit for just this month.  It will be my first pattern from this designer as well as my first time ordering and using her yarn.
  3. Sherilyn- not new to the needles though.  It has been on the needles since I started it and finished the first chart.  I have had it hibernating and need focus to work on it so I don't mess up.
  4. Crest of the Wave Baktus- this one replaced my plan to use Trifid Nebula for the Ripples shawl.  I was going to try and squeeze this project into the KAL that ran from Feb thru March and got the yarn wound but sock knitting took the show.  So maybe I can get this cast on in the next 3 months with no real deadline to finish.
My sock knitting plans:
  • Work on the Tramlines socks in Flourite that I started last night.
  • Finish DD's socks I started in February and only need a heel and toe on one to be done.
  • Make those knee socks for Dad by this Christmas.
  • Make that other Sock Monkey Monkey Sock for mom by this Christmas and make a mate for mine.
  • Make socks with Quasar, X-Ray, Trifolium and a few others consecutively.
  • Make a pair of socks with Felici for me and a pair for DD and DS.
