I decided this year to make ALL my Christmas presents (with the exception of the necessary plastic electronic junk I'm giving Henry). It's fun, actually - I feel I'm really making Christmas happen instead of buying it. It's a little weird not to be shopping right now, but it's also pretty cool.
The present-finishing countdown has begun in earnest. I have three projects left to complete, so I'm juggling them based on shipping dates, how late I can knit on Christmas Eve, who I won't see til after Christmas (gaining a precious day or two), and so forth, bouncing back and forth between projects. I'm going to be knitting morning, lunchtime and night to accomplish it all. Barring a possible carpal tunnel attack, I should be in good shape.
I'm also cooking up some food and drink items that cannot be revealed until they're gifted. Christmas Day (or shortly thereafter) I'll share the projects and recipes here. Til then, blogging may be limited as it takes away precious needle time.
Life around here is very focused these days. No time for parties, working out, meeting friends for drinks, watching movies, walking the dog, reading the paper, making dinner. Must. Keep. Knitting.
