updates: KAL & more knitted gifts

My great plan to gets lots of gift knitting done over the Thanksgiving weekend ....... simply didn't happen.  

The actual knitting that I did do...... found me knitting interchangeably between 3 or 4 different projects at the same time.  Some small/quick projects got completed, giving the illusion that I was making some great progress.  While at the same time making my bigger project feel like I am running in place.  Talk about your ups and downs.

So, for in the what its worth department.......I have completed a pair of socks and a couple sets of crochet face-cloths similar to the Anthropologie Inspired Facecloths.

As for other updates:  

My Stockholm Cowl KAL is looking good but only 8 inches wide, its about 60% complete.

I have also started two more pair of socks. That all sounds good ...right? 

EXCEPT, that I still need to knit at least 3 more pairs of socks, another lace scarf and would like to squeeze a hat for myself in there, just because its starting to get c o l d.

Looks like it may be a rough finish......just keep knitting, just keep knitting....knitting....knitting.....

Ah, I gave up the Bataan Death March of holiday knitting years ago; too many years of getting to January with all my knitting mojo gone. My rule is that if you aren't on the holiday knitting list by May, you aren't getting on that year...

Now, I will admit that despite all that I have somehow managed to set myself two knitting goals to be completed by December 15. But they're for me, so if they aren't done, no one is disappointed.

I like your May rule.

For me I'm not sure that would work because I have outstretched hands wanting socks all year long. In fact last year the request was for 6 pairs of socks by one dear nonknitter friend. After that, I came up with my own rule and which is, that I will only knit one to two pairs for any gifting.

Good luck with your December 15th deadline :-)
