Wahoo! With just one day to go, the Feb goals have been completed with the knitting of the final hat. In addition to 8 scarves and 3 hats, I have also completed (finishing) 2 baby blankets and the Feb winner's scarf. All this with a cold, too! Not bad!

Feb Scarf #8
Nice fun scarf. I loved this yarn. It came to me unlabeled so I have no idea who made it, but it is very cute!

Feb Scarf #7
Like this one. Made from a higher end acrylic, this rust colored scarf has a soft silky sheen not depicted in this photo.

Feb Stats!
Well, things have been a bit slow lately. Been bitten by the cold bug, the knitting has taken a back seat to much sleep. But, fear not! The goals will be accomplished!
And, be on the look out for the next contest to be announced on the blog.
Scarf on!

Photo: Navy Charity Baby Blanket
This one is a little different. Usually I just post scarves and hats on the blog, but this is a baby blanket I knitted for a Navy charity. Made from acrylic squares, it turned out pretty good. Just need to do a little finishing.

Love this one. It is from a donated yarn, a silky-like acrylic. Knits up quickly and beautiful.

This one is interesting. It is a mystery fiber. Feeling it, though, I think it maybe a bamboo/acrylic. It has the nice, soft sheen of bamboo, plus that silky like texture. Beautiful scarf.

SnuggleWarmth Contest: Only 2 people entered so far!
***Post your answer in this day's comments to enter***
Since you know SnuggleWarmth's mission statement: Bringing a nickel's worth of good karma back to the world one scarf at a time. You know that I am dedicated to spreading some good to those who need it, even if it is a simple as a hand-knitted scarf. You know what I do, now I want to know what you do to make a difference to those around you.
So, the question is:
Since this is January, and January is a month to make resolutions for the new year, I pose this question:
What do you can you do this year to make a difference in the lives of others?
It is a simple question. Think about it. Post about it in the comments of this blog and do it!
One lucky person will receive a hand-knitted scarf. The winner's name will be drawn Feb 14th from the names of those who contribute.
Good luck!

Snow, snow, snow
DC is weighed down by snow. Perfect time to knit. And a perfect time to get more pictures on the blog!
I did my shoveling today. We received at least 2 feet so far! Yay!

Hat #5: Photo (January Goal)
This is one that I wasn't so sure about at first. Someone gave me some speckled white Red Heart yarn. I wasn't sure how this hat would look once completed, but, you know what, it totally surprised me. Not bad, I think. The yarn off to the side is three little braids I made that come out from the center of the hat.

February Goal: First Scarf Halfway Done!
OK, so I did achieve my goals for January. It was a struggle though. Given the struggle last month and the fact that February is a shorter month, I have reduced the goals just slightly. Of course, I hope to exceed them.
Already halfway done with the first scarf!
Don't forget to enter the contest. See the contest blog post to enter.
Scarf on!

Hat #4: Photo (January Goal)
OK, so this is a bit of a funky one. Yes, I had leftovers that I used together on this one:) I had some Homespun dalmatian and some pink acrylic left. I thought why not?

Hat #3: Photo (January goal)
I like this one. I used two different types of yarn: for the brim, I did a multi-colored acrylic; for the top, I used Homespun in white.
