In the tradition of knitters everywhere, I cling to very optimistic views of what I can produce on deadline. I've been on the Knitmas train since early October, and here's the tally of finished objects so far (identifying details have been removed to protect the surprise):
- 2 hats (plus 2 more orphan hats that I rejected as gifts)
- 2 sets of fingerless mitts
- 1 pair of footwear
- 1 sock
- 1 cowl
- 1 scarf
- 1 bag
- 1 chapstick cozy
- 3 mini Santa hat ornaments (my version of procrastinating)
I still have to finish: 1 scarf (halfway done), 3 hats (2 started so far), 1 sock and 1 set of mitts. There are six knitting days left until Christmas. Piece of cake, right?
I've already informed several recipients that they're not getting their gifts til after Christmas, so that buys me a little more time. Meanwhile, I won't be blogging, or doing much of anything but knitting with grim determination and focus. Other than taking four planes to North Carolina, setting up my parents' tree, baking cookies, making meals, doing errands and shopping and trying to keep Henry entertained. Should be a fun week! Really.
Note: this is not happening again next Christmas. Target gift certificates for all!
How are you all doing on your Christmas lists?
