This is my February wrap-up of my progress on my ten for 10 goals.

1. Knit a large square/rectangle shawl (like one from from Heirloom Knitting or Knitted Lace of Estonia)
2. Knit a sweater for me
   No progress on either of these items.
3. Knit a pair of colorwork socks
   I’ve been knitting and posting about my self-designed colorwork socks that I started for the Ravelympics.  So far, I’ve managed to knit one sock, and I’ve got one to go.
4. Clean and prep the baby alpaca (cria) fleece I purchased
5. Spin the above mentioned fleece
   No progress on either of these items in February.
6. Spin at least an hour per week to improve my overall spinning technique and consistency
   As was the case last month, I wasn’t able to dedicate an hour a week to my spinning.  I blame trying to knit for the Ravelympics for the lack of time.  I did, however, spend 6 to 8 hours spinning four ounces of fiber from Wolf Creek Wools.
7. Reduce the overall stash.
   I didn’t actually finish any knitting projects in February, so the amount of yarn that left my stash is zero.  On top of that, I added a bunch of Knitpicks Swish DK in order to work on a project.  Granted, I cast on with the yarn right away, but I did overestimate the amount I needed by about 4 balls (7 oz/200 grams).  This will result in adding to the stash, not reducing.
8. Design and release at least 2 patterns
   I’m definitely on track for this one.  I will be releasing the colorwork socks (they need a good name).  I’m also working on a baby blanket pattern (which also needs a good name).  There’s already interest in this one by an outside party.  No details until I’m sure of what the outcome will be.
9. Post more regularly to this blog
   I only managed three posts in February, not the frequency I was hoping for.  I know March will be better.  This is already the third post, and it’s only the 10th of the month.
10. Attend my local knitting or spinning groups more often (which shouldn’t be hard – I hardly went at all in 2009)
    I made it to knitting twice in February.  I’m ok with that. 

Overall, I feel that I made fairly good progress in January and have some fairly high hopes for what I can accomplish in February.
