Lately I've been working almost exclusively on knitting. It continues to amaze me how well its going. I've always been able to pick up new forms of needle work so quickly, its like I've done it all before in a former life or something. But right now its knitting that I'm focused on. I have two projects going. A wrap for myself. And a Christmas stocking for my nephew. The wrap is over half done. I still have a couple of hurtles to it. I've figured out how to change yarn. The next thing is connecting yarn with nothing to tie to. The last hurtle will be adding a row to the side. I may have to have help with those two. In fact I'm planning to go to my local yarn shop tomorrow and get help with the first one. Well, that plan hinges on two things. I have to get the first side done tonight and I have to get off work on time tomorrow. Getting the first side done is just a matter of sitting down in a little bit and knitting three inches. Getting off on time tomorrow may be a little more tricky. But if not tomorrow, then Friday. It will be this week.
My nephew's Christmas stocking my prove a little bit trickier. I want to have it done by the end of the month. Originally I was going to have to mail it to him along with Christmas presents for the rest of the family, but I got some time off work at Christmas. So now I get to deliver all the presents to my family in person. But that doesn't really mean I have more time to work on the stocking. I have so much to do between now and then that I really need to get it done and out of the way so I can work on other projects.
As soon as I finish those two projects I can move on to some of the other things that I have started. I am starting to get antsy to do that. Part of the reason I have so many interests is that I'm easily bored. I have to keep jumping around to keep myself interested. And its getting to that point now with my knitting. Soon though.
