Another week has passed and I have been so focused on work, and the items that I am knitting, that I have not taken the time to add to my blog. But work is not caught up and I did complete some things over the weekend.
The 24 dishcloths that I knit have now be added to the soap that I molded into pink hearts, with the candy cane mouse and the beaded candy cane ornament (kits from Oriental Trading Co). I will add a few pieces of candy and thats the gift for office people.
I also finished 4 of my Christmas Washclothes that I started earlier in the week. Those are gifts for my direct co-workers along with items from Bath and Body Works.
I still have to catch up with the advent scarf. I had trouble with the stitch count on day 6 and haven't started back up. There was an error posting so I will give it a try again. Today is day 10 so I have a good bit to do.
I have worked some of the modified log cabin afghan. I'm almost done on the 2nd square with 4 more to go. I hope I'm able to finish before Christmas. Still have the hats, fingerless gloves and the short socks to finish. As usual, I have bitten off more than I can chew. I read on Rav where a person posted that having the deadline of Christmas for gift making ruined her knitting mojo for months afterward. The truth is that the people I give handmade gifts to do not really appreciate the time, effort and money that goes into making them, but I really love sharing. So I think I should resolve to either make fewer items or start earlier in the year!
Here's to a wonderful week of knitting!!
Happy Knitting all!
