Who Woulda Thunk?

2015-12-14 20.41.05

Here it is, the Eve of the Eve of Christmas and the Christmas Knitting is all done.  Well, sort of.  I do have to help Lily finish her knitted gift for her Daddy (we’re calling it the Elf Sleeping Bag).  But that should be finished up tonight.

I need to get some items in the mail yet, but I’m feeling pretty good about this whole Christmas thing.

Now I’m wondering what project should I cast on for next?

A.  Should I be responsible and finish up the Doodler?

B.  Should I be responsible and finish up some of the WIPs I have laying around?

C.  Should I be semi-responsible and start the sweater for the nephew who’s birthday is in February?

D.  Should I just cast on something frivolous and fun?

E.  All of the above.

Taking the Crazy Train

Hop aboard, Folks!  We’re taking the Crazy Train to Christmas Town!

This is the train that makes you think that you can totally finish 1 sock, one pair of toddler socks, a blanket size scarf, AND a cowl in the two weeks before Christmas.  But wait, there’s more, because some of these items need to be shipped to Chicago.  And, oh yeah, we’re celebrating my family’s Christmas on the 20th.

Then there’s this cute little baby sweater that just needs the ends woven in and buttons sewn on by Friday.  We’re having dinner with the new parents and I’d like to give them their present sometime before the child’s 3rd birthday.

Oh, I’ve totally got this Christmas thing under control.

If you need me, I’ll be the one in the corner mumbling to myself, “just one more row before bed.”
