I've just finished making my stocking for the CTnY "Christmas Stocking swap" so now all i have to do is get it filled and on it's way. It has to be sent by the 15th of December to arrive before Christmas as i really want my partner to have it to open on Christmas Day. I have a few last minute touches to add and then everything can be wrapped and stuffed in and it can be posted :oD
I'm feeling fairly optimistic that i can do it before the deadline!
I've cast on for Dragon Scarf Number Two and am about a third of my way through it, i am hoping to spend all of today knitting on it so hopefully that will be done by tonight and can be crossed off the list!
Speaking of which, the list looks a little something like this now:
Ruth's socks - done!
Dragon Scarf #1 - done!
Christmas Stocking and present - done!
Dragon Scarf #2 - started
Centuria for Ruth - started but will need to frog and restart and knit with no interruptions
Centuria for Trout - DITTO!
I love the pattern, i love that it's knit sideways and i am looking forward to knitting them both (Ruth's not so much, she chose a boucle yarn!!) but they involve short rows, counting and keeping track of rows and i can't do that unless i write it all out and tick it off as i do it! Once i'm "in the groove" it should be easier going, i mean, this Dragon is definitely easier than the first Dragon so why shouldn't that relate to the hats too? The hat is worked in sections and i am hoping that by the time i have worked one section that the second will come to me a LOT easier... if it doesn't i may well have a spiral bound copy of "Going Straight" for sale :o(
So, back to Chrimble knitting... i'd like to get some more washcloths made, just a couple, so that i have some emergency presents ready to hand out should i need them. I also have two lots of gorgeous Sublime that is earmarked for cowls, one for Mum and maybe one for me! Then there's a pair of mittens, a hat and a scarf that i would have liked to have squeezed in but in all honesty i don't think i'll get them done. If i can manage to get this scarf done today though i will definitely feel more optimistic about "extra" knitted pressies!
Alls i gotta do is stay AWAY from the computer!! heheheeee
