Knittin’ frenzy

I am bound and determined to finish all Christmas gifts before Thanksgiving! That way I can get a few of the sweaters I have on needles for myself finished.

I picked up the stitches along the bottom of my dads sweater to lengthen it a bit. I am going to take the leftover yarn with me to their house at Christmas to make sure that if I need to lenghten or shorten there will be no problem.

Another scarf & hat set is done. Now I am focused on the HP Gryffindor scarf & hat set. I am not enjoying working on it at all. It’s the yarn that is holding me back & I am seriously considering stopping with the yuck yarn & starting over in something I can handle working with.

Yesterday and today and probably tomorrow will be spent on the aran sweater for my mom. The body is at the length I want for joining the sleeves. One sleeve is ready & the other sleeve is only about 6 inches away. My goal is to have them all joined and up the raglan decrease by this afternoon. I suppose that means I had better get crack-a-lackin’ on it!

By the way, I hate holidays with no mail delivery! Frustrating!
