Christmas Knitting
I suppose everyone has to learn some lessons the hard way, but I seem to have trapped myself. It’s Christmas time and due to unforeseen bills and our truck breaking down I was pushed into making everything I wanted to give away from Christmas. Don’t get me wrong…I love knitting, but I committed to knitting too much! Want to hear the list of projects I have going?
- finishing a crochet baby blanket for a friend
- a gifted baby blanket for a baby due in January
- a gifted baby sweater for another baby due soon
- 2 hats for a father and son
- a kitchen towel for a family our church adopted
- a present for my roomate
- a present (hopefully two) for my husband
- a hat for my sister and her friend
- a present for a good friend
and so many other things I wish I could make…. 
Then there are my own projects:
- The Clapotis
- a knitted vine necklace
- a second sock (darn it)
and of course all the other things I want to knit for myself. Do you think maybe I got in over my head? I’m pretty sure that I will be giving away half finished projects. Then again look I’m writing a blog and not knitting. haha
Well….
My daughter and I are in the middle of our annual last minute knitting frenzy. We knit headbands/earwarmers up until Christmas Eve last year. We are apparently doing the same this year, but throw in some baby hats I am knitting for my teeny tiny niece–who is two but is well….teeny tiny. Oh…and we are making some of those scarf/cowl things. And a pair of fingerless mitts. My plan is to not sleep between now and Christmas.
This was precisely the answers I’d been searching for. Amazing blog. Incredibly inspirational! Your posts are so helpful and detailed. The links you feature are also very useful too. Thanks a lot
