Well I'm glad you asked. I hadn't been feeling the knitting mojo for a long time. There were even days when I didn't knit (gasp!), but then September rolled around and I came to the realization that Christmas was coming and Superman had already requested 5 pairs of socks and the girlies want new hats and mittens. So I began perusing the stash. I don't have pictures of any of that yet, so be patient. I figured if I start now, I should have at least 2 items finished per person by then. That would be 3hats and 3pairs of mittens for the girlies and maybe a hat and 2 pairs of socks for Superman. That is a decent amount of knitting if I think, but not an overwhelming amount, so I should be okay.
Then I realized that in November my family has 4 birthdays. Superman should have at least a pair of socks. My mom is offended that I've never knit her anything, so I have to make her something. Jess wants all her hats and mittens to match, so I have to do that. And I should really finish that sweater I started for my sister by her birthday. Crap!
My best buddy, Yancy is a crossing guard so she is out in the cold during the winter around here and her birthday is November too, she has requested a scarf, a hat and some mittens. Crap!
Her kiddos also want me to knit them stuff, but they can wait till Christmas. Her son wants a hat, her girlie wants a hat and mittens. Crap!
My brother told me he is also still waiting for a hat and a scarf. Double Crap!
Meanwhile I have been entertaining myself with this beautiful Hand Maiden Seasilk in the Paris colourway. mmmm garghhhhaaggah.
So lets recap. For November I need to make.
1 Cardigan (Meli)
2 pairs of socks (Superman and my mom)
2 pairs of mittens (Yancy, mom and Jess)
3 hats (Superman, Jess and Yancy)
1 scarf (Yancy)
CRAP!
I better go.
