I've managed to finish only ONE project in all this time. Granted, it is a Christmas project. But something tells me just one isn't going to be enough.
Heading off the in-progress list we have Jack's Christmas Sweater 2015. Just missing the sleeves. And he doesn't want a vest, I already asked.
And another Christmas Stocking. Or at least a Christmas Stocking cuff.
These are Jack's Christmas socks. Just my standard recipe, no frills. They have the distinct honor of being only project I have actually completed.
I also have some things that are Christmasy only because it's December, but aren't actually Christmas knitting. Like this sock. These have dreams of becoming Michael's birthday socks, a birthday which happens to fall the week after Christmas.
Last up is a last minute gift for a dear friend and client. After a meeting with her a couple of weeks ago, she handed me 3 full shopping bags of yarn telling me she just doesn't have the time. In one bag I found a sweaters worth of Noro, a pattern, and the start of what appeared to be the bottom ribbing of the back piece. Rather than finishing the sweater for her, I opted to use my creative license.
Sometimes we knitters change patterns when knitting for ourselves. Longer/shorter sleeves, larger/smaller bust, longer/shorter waist, etc. Rather than something that wouldn't fit her the way she prefers, I chose something that would be a little more lenient on sizing.
Pics to come, on the off chance that she sees this post. I hope she likes it as much as I enjoyed making it.
In case anyone is curious, this is how I imagine I'll look by Christmas Eve...
