Christmas knitting list - update

Knitting to finish for Christmas

  • Lacy scarf - finshed, wrapped and dispatched
  • Cardigan one - just needs one sleeve sewing in and a decision about buttons made and implemented.
  • Cardigan two - need to finish and sew on the lacy edging.
  • Hoodie - the back is finished and I have about 4 inches of front done. The rest of it needs knitting, but it is for a child so is not a huge undertaking. 
  • Lacy scarf (new item) - currently almost 14 inches long. If finished in time, this will replace a scarf  already knitted but which I know there is a mistake in and despite assurances that nobody else will notice, it bugs me to give it knowing that mistake is there.
I confess I'm not feeling as confident about getting it all done as I was last Thursday.

Christmas knitting to do list

Knitting to finish for Christmas

  • Lacy scarf - currently about 11" long.
  • Cardigan one - just needs sleeves sewing in and a decision about buttons made and implemented.
  • Cardigan two - need to finish and sew on the lacy edging.
  • Hoodie - the back is nearly finished. The rest of it needs knitting, but it is for a child so is not a huge undertaking.

I'm sure that is totally doable by Christmas, even if I am working all week (except Friday afternoon) and Christmas Eve. I don't think I've forgotten anything - at least, I really, really hope I haven't!

I am ignoring the little voice that is whispering that someone might like a pair of socks. Totally not doing that. But I did buy some suitable yarn today so if I do have a moment of weakness and give in, I have yarn ready and don't have to wait several days before I can get hold of some. That's just a sensible precaution - right? But I'm not going to knit them for Christmas; they could be a birthday present next year. The rest is enough to keep me busy.

Now, please excuse me, I'm going to get a few more rows of scarf knitted before bedtime.
