Well, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? We’ve gone from first snowfall to third snowfall, and nary a post. Unfortunately, all of this fluffy white stuff falling from the sky has not inspired the usual amount of knitting. I’m not sure why, really…just a lot going on, I suppose.
The sweater is still stockinette, on small needles, and hasn’t really changed much. I did at least pick it up for an hour or so last night.
The hat now has a companion of (almost) one handwarmer. Theoretically, the other will soon follow. Theoretically. (It had better, as this is definitely on the Christmas list, headed for my sister. I like it, but it’s just not me, and it’s 100% her.)
There is a new hat, which barely made it past the ribbing before screeching to a halt because I need to think about it for a few minutes to figure out what’s next.
And yesterday, I realized that we’ll be leaving for Christmas in 8 days, and I have no idea what I’m bringing for knitting, and none of the current projects are good candidates.
Well, then. Guess that tells you what I’ll be doing, huh?
Nothing to see on my blog either. I hope to finish up some projects, or at least the one that HAS to be done by xmas, and get some pictures this weekend. Maybe I should put on some xmas music to get the spirit…
Travel knitting! That’s the kind of planning I like to do at this time of year 🙂 (As opposed to all the crazy holiday shopping kind of planning…) I hope you find exactly what you need. I just got a bee in my bonnet about knitting little headband for the girls (a la Interweave Knits), but can’t find any yarn locally with elastic in it. Doesn’t it figure?
Well glad things are okay. I have to say, I am glad Christmas knitting is almost over!
Good luck with the hat and finding some good travel knitting! Enjoy your Holidays!
Sounds about like the state of my knitting at the moment! And the snowfall sounds familiar too. You’d think that would be incentive…
Have fun finding new knitting!
I am usually so excited about picking out new projects. Except when the pressure of being sure I have good stuff to knit while traveling is on. So stressful!!!!
I recommend you toss something you aren’t absolutely in love with into your suitcase – maybe a dishcloth or simple scarf or whatever. Suddenly you will find that it is attracting other projects to it – that ball of cotton is joined by 5 balls of cashmere or two skeins of handspun, all with specific missions that they are happy to confess once they think you have settled on travel knitting. At least that is what happens to me and why I often travel with about 4 projects!
