Gift updates

knitting progress

I couldn’t sleep last night. I went into the game for a bit, but wasn’t in the mood to play, so I camped on the couch around 8:30 and decided to see what I could get done. Yesterday was good, I finished the second sleeve for the hoodie, so that leaves sewing it up and I’ll be done with that.

The left scarf is for one of the kid’s teachers, the right is for whoever I’ve forgotten because I know there will be a last minute gift I need somewhere. The blue bit is the last side of the Arwen sweater which was originally intended for one person, but I wasn’t sure on size so it’s going to another.

There’s a hat that I finished off this morning. I cast on last night with it while i was zoning out on tv chatter and had one of those nights where I kept going, movies that were half entertaining were on and the next thing I knew, it was 3am and I was about 10 rows from finishing it off. I should have enough yarn to make a second one, so that’s another thing I can probably knock out in the next few weeks.

All in all I’m being a lot more productive than I anticipated.

And the rush begins…

I’m avoiding shopping this year as much as possible, which means I’m attempting to finish up about 4 different knitting projects before the big day. Two, a scarf and a hat, for different people will definitely get done, because it’s a day on each. There are two sweaters that are doable, if I spend a few days on my butt on the couch and knock them out.

I should mention that I started both of these months ago so I wouldn’t have to rush…..

I’m good like that…

One down, 3 more to go….errr 4 more…ummm…oh gods ….. At least Maizy is at 80, still a lot to do, but I can start playing around with getting the others leveled casually. I shall now go do the happy Tauren dance in my living room before anyone comes home. :)
