I am scaling "way back" for May. First of all, I've signed up for a knitting class. And secondly, I haven't finished the knitting projects for the shower in June. And yet.

I'm going to have a "Molly May"--that's when you choose 10 projects to work on in a three day rotation, named for Molly who works at my LNS.
May 1-3      Emerald Mermaid
May 4-6      Anniversary Project
May 7-9      Small SAL
May 10-12  Marquoir
May 13-15  A Fish Tale
May 16-18  Emerald Mermaid (because, it's still not done)
May 19-21  16th Century Knot Garden
May 22-24  Thistle
May 25-27  Off the Deep End
May 28-30  Love Me, Love My Dog

Oh there's nothing wrong with being overly optimistic when goal setting :) Good luck with your Molly May goals! (Can you believe it's May already??!)

Oh fun! What knitting class are you taking?

You got more done last month than I did, Nikki, so don't feel bad.

Show us what you'll be knitting!

Oooo, the great pumpkin conspiracy .... I started that a couple years ago but didn't get very far on it. I should dig it out. Good luck with your may projects.

Goals are just suggestions not rules!!

Looking forward to this month's stitching.

I like the Molly May idea. I am getting tired of stitching the same WIP, CHS Gilded Cage. I need to quickly kit up 2 starts and join in on the Molly May "challenge".
