10/24/2005: "Monday Update - Holiday Knitting!"

haydenhat2 (38k image)


Okay, so, for those of you keeping track and playing the home game... Here is another WIP (Work in progress for the non-knitters)

The projects currently on the needles -

Kiri Shawl - about 70% finished
Star Gazer Lily Socks - 50% finished
Good-n-Plenty socks - 65% finished
SO what the hell is this you might ask?

This is the Hayden Hat pattern from Poor Miss Finch.
I sooooo love this pattern. It looks like crochet, but it's actually a clever slip stitch knit pattern. Quick and fun. I've added a few of these hats to my holiday knitting list. Why? I have no idea, I'm perfectly capable of crocheting, and I'm actually a faster crocheter than a knitter, but it's always nice to learn a new technique!

So, to recap, The holiday knitting list now includes
4 Branching Out Scarves - 3 completed
3 hats - none completed
3 Christmas Stockings - one completed
2 pairs of socks - none completed
felted clog slippers - none completed

As always I am hopelessly deluded optimistic about my holiday knitting!

This does not include at least 2 days of holiday sewing projects. Good thing I can sew MUCH faster than I can knit!

Only 62 days until Christmas! Wooohoooo!

Your Good-n-Plenty socks look fabulous!! And gloat about the matching stripes, why don't you. ;-) I think I need to join some kind of support group for deluded (optimistic!) holiday knitters, too. :-) You're doing a great job- you've actually completed several gifts already!! BTW, that hat pattern is really neat. It really does look crocheted!
