Let's see. The first thing that I finished a while ago was a pair of socks for a friend of mine. I can't remember if I told the story, but she told my boyfriend that she wanted some socks, but he forgot to tell me until 2 days before the wedding. (2 being at work days I might add) so I was unable to get her socks for the actual wedding. However I did still make them and I finally gave them to her on Friday night. She was estatic! She jumped up and down and gave tons of hugs. While everyone else just looked on in wonder about why I was this crazy person giving her a pair of socks. Oh well I don't care what everyone else things, so long as she's happy.
The second thing I finished was my quick knit baby blanket. Simple basket weave and soft yarn. I got it all finished, blocked and everything. Turns out Sara didn't have any blankets yet so I even guessed the right thing to knit, and she loved it. Hopefully I will have a picture of the precious little girl wrapped up in it soon. (Unlike Kegan who still owes me a photo, shakes fist).
Now I'm ready to head out to Seattle for Thanksgiving. I went back and forth so many times on what to take. First off I wanted to work on a second sweater for myself, fixing the "mistakes" I had on the last one (the red one in a previous post), but then I realized that I should use this opportunity to do more holiday knits, like the little presents that I want to send folks. But lots of those presents involve either complicated patterns not suited to travel, or the opposite, super simple fast patterns that involve tons of different colors of yarn, which is also not suited to traveling. So I think I've decided on socks. Tiffany loved hers so much, and they are fun to travel with. I will knit a pair (at least) of socks over Thanksgiving, then when I get back I will work on those little odds and ends gifts for everyone. At least I think that's the plan...I'm not packed and ready to go yet, so in reality who knows :)
Unless I manage to post again, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
