I have stuck with my sock knitting schedule and have only one more pair to knit once I finish these. I'm really enjoying this pattern, even though I have arsed it up twice now. (Ask T. It wasn't pretty.) It's hard to find good patterns for Men's socks. This book has a few good socks for Men, Women and Children and is one of my favorites.
It turns out that black socks don't photograph that well.I have been chugging along on the Tangled Yoke Cardigan. The next step is to join the sleeves to the body and then I'm sailing toward one big @ss cable.
Can I be honest with you? When I get stressed about knitting or anything really, I like to make lists. I make lists of what I have left to knit. I make lists of the yarn I have. (No, T. I will not reveal how much sock yarn I have. It is a mystery best left to its own devices.) I make schedules of when I need to have things done.
Unfortunately, I often find myself adding projects to an already full knitting lineup. I could whip up a little vest or maybe one more pair of socks, right?
Who am I kidding? (Myself, actually, but that was a rhetorical question.) I can't knit anything else. I don't have the time and I don't want to drive myself crazy. (It's a short trip, believe me.) So, I have 7 projects to complete by Christmas. I'll keep you informed on my progress but you might not see details on all of them since they are gifts and should be a surprise.
Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow. I'll try my best to be honest but I have been known to be a little sneaky when under pressure.

J - I'm sitting in my office, literally laughing my head off. You crack me up.
SEVEN more projects. You are seriously insane. But somehow I think you'll get them done.
I have 4 possibly 6 more, and I figure I'll get 2 more done.
Hee, I was at work one day thinking about all the knitting I had left to do for the holidays and I made a list, too. I then numbered each one and put where I would knit on it (work-lunch or home). I pull it out every now and then and cross something off.
One was a sweater for my nephew but I brushed that one aside with a due date of his graduation in June.
I'm getting stressed out for you, but I'm sure you'll get it done (I'm not being an enabler, really).
