Updates to my projects planning list

I've decided to do an update to my list of projects for the year because I haven't stuck to a few things. I think I was being a bit too ambitious when I first put my list together:

- make at least 1 pair of plain or patterned socks for myself monthly (originally I was trying for 2pr and made none for myself) (I currently have a pair on two sets of DPNs and I'm just about to do heels)

- socks for Mr T 1pr every other month (I did make 1 sock for him and it didn't fit all that well)

- make a comfy sweater - I have the yarn and have the pattern picked, it's what I plan to work on when I get done with the lacey/patterned scarf/shawl

- make another lacey/patterned scarf/shawl (this is what I'm currently working on)

- mittens for S's xmas gift

- scarf for M's xmas gift

- fingerless gloves for Mr T
