1. I finished my sister's wristwarmers (Fetching wristwarmers in Knitty) on Friday. They're lovely.
2. I'm thinking about knitting a headband/earwarmer thing out of the leftover yarn (I got a rather large skein) for her. On top of all my other projects, before Christmas. I might be insane.
3. I finished my brother's wristwarmers today (Dashing wristwarmers in Knitty). I am supremely jealous. I'm trying to convince myself that it would be bad karma to steal them back after I give them to him for Christmas.
4. I had a wonderful time out today with my friend. We hung out at our local Borders. She read, and I knit.
5. I bought her her Christmas and birthday gifts and gave them to her, since I'll be out of town for her birthday. She knew exactly what I was getting her, even before I went to the checkout. I didn't even pretend I was going to 'surprise' her.
6. I'm going to attempt to knit the majority of a hat before I go to bed tonight. I'll probably have to eat and rest sometime between now (4:40) and midnight, but I can work around that.
7. Ravelry is just more addicting than I gave it credit for. I went to log my Christmas projects and new yarns (what I assumed would be a twenty minute job), and I ended up spending over an hour on various pursuits. On the upside, I found the perfect pattern for a Christmas gift next year. On the other hand, 40 of those 60 minutes was intended for the hat I'm trying to finish today, so I can stay on my knitting schedule.
8. I have a knitting schedule. I have set a project for each day. Yesterday wristwarmers, today hat, tomorrow mittens, Tuesday another pair of mittens, Wednesday slippers/earwarmer-thing (if I can manage it), Thursday/Friday hat to be done by Saturday before my flight.
9. Every night I panic slightly around 11 pm as I worry that I won't finish the day's item. I've stayed up past midnight the past three nights to finish.
10. I'm a little short on sleep and coherency.
I think that's all. I'm off to try and finish a hat.
