Here We Go Again

Well gosh darn it all! I promised myself NO Christmas knitting this year. It's just too stressful trying to get it all done by a deadline. In case you were all wondering why I've not been posting pictures of my latest objets d'art it's because they are Christmas presents. You know how it goes. I knit something for myself and when it's finished I think, "Hmmmm.....that would be perfect for ________." and it just snowballs from there. So, rest assured that I am busily clicking and clacking away. I'm not counting reindeer in my dreams but stitches. Only two items to go but only 22 days in which to knit them and I'd better stop wasting my time on here and get to it.

My comment was for Randy. You are as crazy for Christmas as the rest of us.

Since I'm lucky if I finish one knitting project a year, there is no worry (or expectation) that anyone will receive a knit gift from me.

So, what are you knitting for me for next Christmas?

My motto is "Don't expect a gift from me, and I won't expect a gift from you". I am worry and stress free this time of year.

Sweetie, Have you never experienced the joy of giving? It is fun to try and find the perfect gift. I know you are always giving your children
a helping hand but put up a tree and enjoy.

Glad to see you're keeping up with home repairs, holding up your end of the neighborhood real estate values.

An adorable picture

Good luck with completing your gifts. Knitted garments (especially when they're handmade) are extra special I think

comment by augusta on Dec 3, 2010 4:09 PM ()

I think so too. Will post pictures of everything after Xmas.

Wow, Canada sure has changed from the pictures I've seen. You've changed some, too! LOL Love the pick. Good luck on the deadline.

Love that picture...

comment by anacoana on Dec 3, 2010 12:56 PM ()

Thanks. Getting all dolled up for it was worth the effort.

I decided this year to crochet a bunch of scarves for my friends for Christmas so I started last summer. The problem is that I couldn't wait to give it to them or I liked the scarf so much, I kept it! So my idea didn't work out so well.....

I read somewhere that it's the thought that counts. Unfortunately thoughts don't make very good gifts.

reply by nittineedles on Dec 3, 2010 12:40 PM ()

Cool photo. Light is just right. You look great. Sort of. I'll hold my Xmas order till next year, to give you a break.

comment by tealstar on Dec 3, 2010 6:20 AM ()

Thanks. Sort of. I appreciate the break.

reply by nittineedles on Dec 3, 2010 12:37 PM ()

That's a wicked skein of home-spun you've got hanging beside you

comment by nursekim on Dec 2, 2010 9:33 PM ()

Isn't that cool? I'm going to knit a sheep with it.

reply by nittineedles on Dec 2, 2010 11:02 PM ()

You've changed quite a bit since I last saw you doing your knitting, I wouldn't have recognized you. What are you knitting for me?

comment by maryc on Dec 2, 2010 8:26 PM ()

Those are worry lines that I won't get everything knit by Christmas. You're getting the Christmas stocking I'm knitting in the photo. Too bad the picture is black & white. Your stocking is a cheery Christmas red.You'll love it (that's an order).
