Hello Blogger my old friend...
ok, I won't inflict any Simon & Garfunkel on you, but I will give you a run-down of January. And yes, I know February is half over already.

During January there were socks...
This is one pair.
Fun pattern and great for variegated yarn.
There's another half-pair of a different pattern (one lone sock) which is going to the frog pond soon.
There were child-sized shrugs...
Never Not Knitting's Chloe.
Not quite finished, just needs buttons and loops.
Miss F is not bothered about the lack of these and is wearing it anyway.
And Cowls...

Dew Drop Cowl
This was from a Ruby & Sage club slot, and I actually started it right after receiving the yarn.
Halfway through I discovered I'd twisted my stitches and that was the end of that for a while!
Just needs blocking now and it's done.

A Noble Cowl
This is one of those patterns that has survived many Ravelry queue culls since I joined up.
It would easily be my most favourite knit for a long while. The yarn is madelinetosh DK and it's just beautiful. Now we just need some cold weather so I can wear it!
February might not be as productive for me though.
I do have these on the needles...

Whisper Lace SocksI've been a bit addicted to these. The lace pattern and the colourway are both so pretty and I haven't been able to put them down. Unfotunately this means sore hands, so I'm taking an enforced break from them and the other WIP I have on the go.
Both the boys are now at school also, so things have become a bit busier around here. More homework to supervise plus a new school with a longer commute. The upside is I only have one child at home with me, but without a brother around to play with her or distract her when I need it, it's actually a bit more demanding than having two at home. She even tells me to stop knitting these days if it's not a convenient time for her to have me doing that!
Hopefully I'll also have some sewing to show off next time. Fabric is all cut, I just need to find the time to sew it together.
