The thing I learned this holiday season is that, it's not about when you start a project, it's about when you finish. My (rather severe) lack of time management skills have left me, six days before Christmas, frantically knitting the last bits of my niece's present.
if the scarf ever gets done... |
The gecko is done - and it came out pretty good. I ran out of the green yarn as I was finishing the third foot so he'll be going to my nephew as Greyfoot the Lizard. If my brain clears enough before I put it in the mail, there will be a story included about why he has one different colored foot.
one of these things is not like the others |
As of this moment, the poodle has 1.5 ears, no eyes, no feet, no tail, and no pom poms. Needless to say, I need to get back at it so this will be the shortest blog post I've ever written. I'll be sure to take pics of the finished project (I need them for Ravelry anyway) and let you all know if I actually made it in time to get this sucker in the mail. If not, there's going to be a frantic, last-minute shopping trip for my niece. LOL
where I am today... |
Talk to y'all on Friday - hopefully with good news!!

Good luck! I spent the weekend furiously knitting too - even though I started my mum's cardigan months ago, it only got finished on Sunday. Now I have 3 dishcloths to whip up and I'm done...
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all of us!
@pinkundine - Thanks! I need all the good luck I can get. Current state of dog is: two ears, both eyes, one foot. Cassandra is going to help me make the pom poms today at lunch, then I just need to knock out the last of the feet. Yikes!
