december FIFTEENTH!!!

i can't believe that it is sooooo close to the end of the year. and i also can't believe that i didn't update my November list. well... actually i can. i didn't do very much. there was a hat and scarf set that i didn't take a pic of before i sent it off, and a watchcap for a friend of mine that i did get a pic of.



it was very hard to send this off, as it is quite warm and comfortable.

other than that, i have been chugging along trying to get as many special olympics scarves done as i could by today. i will be sending them out tomorrow! i am happy to know that i finished eight! i can't believe that i finished six scarves in two and a half months! (two i started before the challenge)



i don't really know what it is about the special olympic that got me fired up, but it sure did! and i am glad it did, too!

i hope everyone's holidays are going well, and that all the things that were made throughout the year are well appreciated!

December Update

Well, I didn't finish all of my November goals but I made a good start:

1. Scarf for FIL - done and ready to be gifted. This is the Men's Cashmere Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts done in Classic Elite Princess.


2. Scarf for MIL - 2/3s done, so it should be ready on time. This is the Airy Scarf also from LMKG, done in Rowan Kidsilk Haze.


3. Chemo caps - 1 done, at least 1 more to go. This is the Hurricane Hat done in Vanna's Choice.


4. Finally, at long last, I have started a sweater for my DH. Probably won't be done for the holidays, but should be done in time to keep him warm for much of the winter!
This is the Boyfriend Sweater as a cardigan from the book, Hip to Knit done in Catalina Baby Silk.


Goals for the rest of December include finishing the MIL scarf, making at least 1 more chemo cap, and finishing the DH sweater!
