GAH!
You know how the Yarn Harlot talks about going to the crazy place around this time each year? I fear I am going there too. Here's what I have to do before Christmas:
- Gigantic Garter Rib Socks: I just turned the heel last night. I have to knit the too-long foot to match the other one, and this project should be done by the end of the weekend.
- Clapotis: I'm on the 5th repeat on the straight section. Why am I knitting this again, again? The Sheep Shop yarn is really beautiful and lovely to work with, though.
- Fetching and Calorimetry: I bought the yarn yesterday at Natural Stitches. Have I mentioned I've been there three times since the shop opened less than two weeks ago?
- Thuja: Uh, I have the yarn.
- Gentlemen's Fancy Socks: Yep, I have the yarn.
- Child's Sweater Vest: Have I mentioned I have the yarn?
Anyone else at the Crazy Place yet?

The Mason-Dixon book is on its way to my mailbox. Whatever happens when it gets here...I will blame it all on you. Really, it's all your fault ;-) I have already got 2 nearly-finished projects going on, but am looking at starting more. There's something wrong with me, I just know it. After today's test, I'm devoting the rest of my pre-holiday time to doing things I WANT to do.
Oh, I'm in the crazy place. I just finished Cigar for my step dad, I have a lace scarf still not blocked for my dad's girlfriend, hats for sister and BIL are in progress, overalls for baby in progress, hat for 5 year old in progress.... other people aren't getting knitted gifts. I have too much stuff in progress!
