If I were in my right mind would I seriously decide to take on 5 knitting projects for Christmas in the last week of November? No. That's how I know that knitters are "knuts".
While leafing thorugh a knitting magazine (very dangerous activity for me) I came across the cutest Santa hats, sized for all ages. "Awww! J & L would love those. Why don't I make one for J, L, A & J so their whole family can have matching Santa hats for their numerous outdoor Christmas events?!"
So I put aside the sweater I had just begun for D and dove into knitting hats. I've managed to finish all four hats and they are as cute as I imagined them to be. This would be the ideal place to insert a picture of all four hats. But in my eagerness to get them done and put aside, I went ahead and wrapped the package holding the hats and put pretty ribbons on it. No way am I going to unwrap them just to take a picture. That will have to wait until J & L open it and all four of them can put their hats on and pose for a picture!
Now I've returned to knitting D's sweater and am starting to panic about getting it done by the 20th. Does anyone have suggestions for keeping my fingers loose and nimble and arthritis at bay for the next 2 weeks?! When I climb into bed these days, I count stitches instead of sheep! :-)
