Not a sewing goal this month, but knitting; I'm hoping to finish this cardigan by the end of the month. As I usually only knit in the evenings I may just manage it.
The Seashore Cardigan (pattern by Marie Greene in "Seamless Sweaters in 2 weeks") looks close to completion, but appearances can be deceptive. I'm now knitting the last part, the front band, of this edge-to-edge cardigan. This is however an unusually wide band at 8.75cm (3.5") wide and I have done only 3cm (1.25"). It's slow going as there are some 330 stitches on the needle. The cuffs have turned out too wide, so I've decided to unpick them and knit them again on a smaller needle.
I started knitting this more than a year ago, hoping to wear it last winter. However two sweaters for my then three-year-old twin grandchildren intervened. Several pairs of socks later I've decided it's about time this was on my back, instead of on the needles!

Good luck with your goal. It looks lovely and I'm sure it will keep you warm this winter. ;^)
I so admire anyone who can knit like this. I am such a klutz when it comes to knitting.
Happy knitting! Hope you can get it done, as it is too pretty to stay on the needles instead of being worn.
