A little over a month until Christmas. I've finished one gift. Well, technically two, but I have to alter the slippers for my brother because they're too big. But I did finish the Irish Hiking Scarf. I'll have pictures once I get them developed. I'm relying on my 35 mm if I want good pictures of my projects.
I have finished some non-christmas things. 3 pairs of Fetching (work friend's birthday, mine, roommate's), a hat in lovely heathered purple alpaca for me, 4 or 5 baby hats, and a Star Trek bear for X. She named it William the Bear Riker.
I have a baby shower to attend before christmas, so those projects are being finished first. I'm working on a pinwheel baby blanket and I think it's going to be really cool. I need to find some ribbon for the one baby hat and make some flowers for another, but those are quick things. I also plan on making some socks, finishing a couple blankets, and maybe a stuffed animal for a basket o' goodies. I really like knitting for babies. I'll be making another set after christmas, and then putting something smaller together for a coworker who I'm not as close with whose fiancee is expecting.
Still to do: Socks and "Baby's First DNA" for science-geek-roommate, design a manatee for friend, pair of fetching to match my hat (these will be in warmer alpaca for winter; the wool/silk will be for fall), lots of baby stuff. then maybe some more stuff for me. enough with the giving stuff away. Except I still need to finish a gondor tree blanket. there is that.
I was going to try to make myself a niddy-noddy, but i have an old coatrack my dad made when i was a kid that just has pegs that i can probably use to make some bobbins and the like. better than the pile of microspun i've got going on at home right now. that crap tangles like whoa, but it's so nice and soft to work with. I'll have to remember to get that the next time I'm at my parents' house.
