Taking stock
It’s December already? I’m in denial. And yet I’m forced to assess the gift knitting situation. I have 23 days to complete the following:
1. The Dadly Gansey. I finished the back last night. It needs ten more inches on the front. It needs sleeves. Thank goodness there will at least be very little finishing, thanks to the Old Way construction. More on the gansey this weekend, when it will be getting some lavish attention.
2. Cozy. Two-fifths complete.
3. Carillon mittens. Must knit one mitten plus one thumb. I was also supposed to knit up some Lovikka mittens – we’ll see if that happens or not.
4. Man socks. I inherited these from Lisa, who has thoughtfully completed all but the foot of the first one.
5. Mom socks. Finished!
Unfortunately, I’m also on deadline for a couple of patterns, which means I need to finish the butterfly socks and design a tank top with a lace edge in the next ten days or so. I need Hermione’s time-turner so I can show up at work and also spend the whole day knitting! Send a glass of pinot noir or Tuscan sangiovese – it makes me knit faster.

You can do it! I think we all need Hermione’s time-turner every once in awhile!
Good luck 😉

A tank top with a lace edge… Do you have Nicky Epstein’s “Knitting on the Edge”? It have very nice edgings. (I have a copy, let me know if you want to sneak a peek. I could bring it to the party).

Oh dear. We know what you’ll be doing every waking moment! Good luck and try not to lose too much sleep. Your projects all sound fun, though, and you are off to a good start!
