I tried. Really I did. But I forgot something. It’s called Christmas. It all started a couple of weeks ago. Fer and I were in a knitting shop when she spotted some yarn she liked, so I bought it. I thought, I could squeeze in one pair of socks with my Must Complete Before Anything Else projects. My little coppery scarf was almost finished at the time. I could do it.
It was fun to make and it looks good with a turtleneck. I should have laid it out on something that contrasts.
I started making the socks. The pattern is fairly simple and they should be finished this evening. They are striping nicely.
So, everything was going along as planned when a friend asked if I would make short finger gloves for her Mother for Christmas. She is in and out with her job and needs them for cold days. I couldn’t say no. She even had an outline of her hand. OK. We can do this. I had some blue, rust and tan yarn that looked good in a DK weight. They won’t take long. Then, I can get back to my unfinished projects.
Wait a minute. My grandson wants me to make a scarf for his girlfriend. Well. I can’t say no to my grandson. You know? I found some red yarn that is smooth wool, rayon ribbon and furry. That’ll work.
Maybe finishing those other projects will be my new years resolution.
