Knitting break

After my Christmas knitting frenzy it has been a month since I picked up needles. What have I been doing instead? Reading...books that discuss knitting.

Made It

I completed all my projects by the 23rd! Merry Christmas!

Countdown

Okay, I had plans...let's say delusions of posting daily here as I knit my way to Christmas. Obviously that did not happen...how about an update as I and many of us while enjoying the holiday season find it hard to find time to fit it all in. Here is my knit gift list progress to date. Two older nieces: one wrapped, one needing to be assembled and wrapped...an hour probably to complete. Two nephews: one hat done and unwrapped, one on the needles. Little niece, and my Mom: done and wrapped. My aunt: done but unwrapped. My uncle I purchase a gift...cheated. My 2 sisters: one completed and mailed...I rock...and one on needles...she is coming here for Christmas so that buys me some extra time. My Dad...the man you can't buy for but you can make for...it is the oh my child made me a gift still works with him despite my advanced age...I will let you fill in the age...not even started. In addition I made a MaryJayne doll for one of my daughter's friends. While things haven't gone exactly as planned with 4 qdays to go I think I will actually make it!

Counting Down

With 27 days until Christmas, I am counting down. I have to mail just one of my handknit gifts.  I have one poncho done for my nieces and a second on its way.  That leaves 10 to go!

Christmas Knitting

I have decided to undertake a task that knitters should not undertake.  I have decided to knit most of my Christmas gifts.  Notice, I did not say all, but most.  I am knitting for my two sisters (gift undecided), an aunt--project in the works, my dad and uncle, three nieces, and two nephews.  That leaves a lot of people on my Christmas list with nonknitted gifts.  But I will be documenting my progress through probably December 24th.  We'll see how my knitting Christmas goes.
At the moment I have started a pillow for my aunt...but it is on hold, as I started a poncho for one of my nieces.  I don't think she follows my blog, so I will submit pictures as soon as I finish it.  I have about 1/3 done to date. Let the knitting frenzy begin!
