The countdown begins!

Ah, the end of Thanksgiving weekend... relaxing, right? Or not, if you have several school assignments, exams and a gazillion WIP's on the needles calling to you! :) We had a really nice Thanksgiving, the kids all had a great time visiting my sister and her cat and dog. We came home and I've been knitting or studying whenever I can. I've got one mitten done for hubby, a socktopus who just needs 7 more legs (however, he's small and I may rip it out and start over), my niece's Poppy doll is going along nicely, and I got my yarn for my daughter's doll, and the book of basic patterns so I can size hats and mittens for all the kids. Yikes, I have a lot to do! I'm at a loss for all of my inlaws gifts, but not sure about knitting for them. Maybe a calendar? Wish me luck!

Holiday knitting begins!

Whew, I've been busy! School and family are keeping me busy! I managed to make a scarf for my sister-in-law, which turned out nicely, and I have a ton of projects started/planned out.


I spun some fiber, finally, and got this pretty yarn- have a bunch more to spin before I can make anything though!


I just finished another Turn a Square Hat, and it looks nice, for Dad for Christmas. Lets hope THIS doesn't look like a woman's hat. (rolling eyes here!) I am working on another of Ysolda's Elijah elephants for my oldest- he's one arm, and 2 ears short, but adorable. I bought yarn for 2 of her Poppy dolls, for my niece and my daughter, plan to make a Socktopus for my littlest, a hat for my BIL, and I have mittens started for my husband. And I want to make the kids all hats and mittens. Plus I have finals before the holidays LOL. Sure, I'll get it all done, right?
