I joined the Sweater A Month KAL. The premise is you knit one sweater each month, all year long. The guidelines are pretty flexible, however, and the sweater can be for an infant, a dog, or it can be a tank top, anything you want to call a sweater. And if you want to make it a Half-Sweater a Month KAL, so be it! They can be brand new items, or long-forgotten UFO's. You don't have to start and complete in the same month, and its up to you if you finish one each month, although that is my plan; otherwise I'll end up in November with 11 sweaters left to finish!
Here are my plans so far:
January - I'm going to count the Off-Center Argyle as my January item.
February - I hope to complete the Fair Isle Cardigan for my February item.
From there, it's a little up in the air. Depending on how late in February I finish the FIC will decide what I do for March. I have plenty of options - I'm still in the process of cataloging my stash (which I'll talk about in another post), but some of them are a Debbie Bliss cardigan for Sweetpea (from an out of print Sirdar book, I can't find anything to link to for it), a Dale of Norway pullover that I am thinking of cardiganizing for Sweetpea. There's also a somewhat fitted cardigan of my own design, knit in Peace Fleece. Or a Raglan cardi I'm imagining up for Monkeyboy. Just plan on seeing a lot of FOs this year!
Edited to add:
Actually, I just remembered something: See that On the Needles list over in the sidebar? There is a long forgotten Falling Leaves cardigan I finished well over a year ago. It just needs to be blocked and seamed. Maybe I'll make that my February sweater and push the FIC finishing to March.....

My Rogue is indeed the Light Sheep's Grey Bartlett yarn. It's super nice! I look forward to seeing yours. (Whenever you start it - I sympathize, as mine took ages to actually start.)
I'm doing the sweater a month KAL as well. We'll see how it goes - I'm not feeling too optimistic.
