Okay solstice is saturday, Christmas is a week from tomorrow. I think I will try market bags again for Allia in lou of socks, they stand a better chance of being for solstice. Lace edging has be done by Monday so I can block the shawl on the bed before Scott get's home.
Everyone else I probably won't see untilt he New Year however Scott comes home on Thrusday, my birth day is Friday, and mom get's into town the following Sunday so I will lose all knitting time after the 25 anyway.
hmmmm

9 days and a wall
So Christmas is 9 days away, you would think I would be franticaly knitting, but I seem to have hit a wall tonight. I finished a lace shawl (kinda) and hat this weekend! I cast on and ripped out a bag several times, the yarn isn't going to work for the pattern I don't think. So what did I accomplish today?
About 6 rows on a sock. Didn't cast on the felted bag and didn't finish the sock.
I did spend about an hour on the phone with my cousin whom I haven't talked into in ages!
Poked around on etsy and bought a bat of fiber from the HistoricStitcher (above mentioned cousin) Her little boy is selling some batts he's made for some extra pocket cash and he has quite the eye for color I must say! I was on the phone when he saw the sale (his first) and hearing how excited he was made it worth every penny!
I did get a bunch of party work done today though, which is good. Starting to book up January yay!

10 days to go..
Okay so the last time I posted I had strep and this time it's Christmas Crafting mayham! Sometime I should post on a normal day huh?
So Christmas Crafting is going okay this year, better then last year at any rate:
The list goes as such:
mom-lace shawl-done accept for the rows of lace edging
ryan-knitted hat-done
jenni-thrummed mittens-done
allia-vegan friendly socks- almost done with sock 1
casie-felted letter bag from stich n'bitch nation-not started
sarah va.-hat and scarf set-not started
So all in all not going to bad!
Plus I have got the house all decorated! I had $50 in gift cards to Pier 1 so I went and bought decorations and jingle bell placemats. I also got my hunny a ship to hang on the tree this year! He's not much into the season but that little suprise brought one of those truly heart felt smiles on. I even go the lights in the window this year!!
Work is work and I have decided that I need to go back to grad school. I'm going to hunt for a really good poltical science or public policy program. Heck law school may even be in the cards if that's what it is going to take to get to D.C. and make a damn difference! Working as a grunt at place the supports a cause I belive in is just not for me I am finding, I am to much of a leader type!
I want to be done with Christmas knitting so I can spin my heart out! I wheel is just sitting in the corner looking neglected because I have been so focused on gifts for ppl!
Tomorrow's plan is to finish sock 1 and start the felted bag, plus do a party in the city plus deliver products from last week's party to the hostess. hmmmm
