I've been alternating projects since I posted that. Status:

* Mosaic Cardi: lower back done, about to chain for sleeves
* ES Chicken: on last point of first half of tail
* Sweetheart Soiree doily: on round 9
* Legwarmers: nope, were coming out too big; cast on a smaller amount of stitches but haven't knit the round yet

My goals for this month are ambitious. I don't expect to finish the cardi, it's too big of a project. But I'd like to finish the chicken and doily, and get one legwarmer done. That feels like a lot given that work started up again plus it's a shorter month, but I'll do my best!

The legwarmers are a direct result of going to a Final Fantasy concert; I wore a skirt and took public transportation on a colder day, and my legs got cold. I'm getting more partial to long skirts as I get older, but they do leave me with cold legs! And of course, why buy tights when I can KNIT SOMETHING instead?!?!
