When I first decided to knit sweaters for Ella and Charlotte I was going to try to have them done by fall. That was a safe goal. Then I got this big idea. Things were going fine until I washed and blocked Charlotte's sweater and the yarn, which I thought would shrink a bit, actually stretched out and got kind of funny. The sleeves are way too long now so I'm going to take them out and shorten them. Then last weekend I was going to begin a knitting marathon in order to get Ella's sweater done for Easter. But the kids started coming down with the stomach flu. Needless to say, my weekend included ZERO knitting. So I have changed my goal for the sweaters to have them done by fall. Then the dresses, which were done super fast by Kate and Nana and are ADORABLE, will last longer with tights and a sweater added. This just isn't a season of life when I can manage lots of knitting. I need to keep my goals attainable!

I too change my goals. Goals are good, but I need to realize that I'm also a mother and things {sickness, traveling, etc.} pop up that I don't plan on. Hope you're able to meet your fall deadline.
