Current WIPs

I've been trying to figure out what "primary" project I would like to be working on. I really want to make myself a sweater, but haven't yet chosen a pattern. I've also been feeling pressure to meet my goals for knitting for Christmas gifts. I finished one pair of socks which will likely go to my son who will not be home for Christmas this year. The next pair, currently as a WIP will be too small for my husband, so I"ll keep them. So, no sense of urgency here to complete the pair. I must've liked the pattern,as I bought it twice. I will probably start/complete husband's pair for the holiday (let's not bet that they'll be completed in time) and probably put off completing the pair for me because forgetting SSSyndrome, I will have knit THREE of the same sock by then. I experimented with my Arrowhead lace pattern for our SnB anniversary exchange, but have decided that the yarn which might make a nice sock makes a hideous Easter eggish scarf...this one will not be a WIP much longer. I've actually had 3-4 false starts on this project. One night I decided I wanted to do something mindless and simple, so I dug out some Wintuk yarn from my stash to make a blanket as a donation. I discovered an error, so I have to rip back a couple of rows. But it's quick and easy and I'm enjoying the lacy pattern. AND I want to knit a beanie for Andrew who lives in St. Paul. I figure that one will take just a few hours and I have some beautiful Alpaca that I've been trying to figure out what to do with. It will become his beanie. Did absolutely no knitting today. I had a restless night, so I actually went back to bed and spent the day watching sappy Christmas movies on Lifetime. Seriously.

I'm sad that I missed Cheryl's open house last night. It was so nice of her to extend the invitation. My allergies hit me hard in the middle of the day, and we had made plans to take my daughter and sil out to dinner for her birthday, so I ended up napping before dinner and didn't wake up in time. I'll bet I missed a wonderful party :)
