Last Minute

The last pressie to roll off the All Tangled Up needles for 2004 are the Pink Beaded Socks from the Six Sox Knit-along. Must be an awful lot of last minute knitting happening because it would appear that I'm the 8th person to finish. Normally, I'm one of the last ones to roll in.

Unfortunately, that temptress Dawn waved her beautiful Pink beads in front of my face and suddenly I felt inspired to knit them and to knit them fast. Just as I was about to succumb to a scarf, I chose socks.

How did I finish them so quickly? I actually finished them yesterday and washed and blocked them. I set myself some goals. On Sunday night, as I cast on sock 2, I set myself a deadline to finish by Thursday. So Sunday night, I stayed up until I got to the beading. Monday, I got to heel turning. Tuesday, past the gusset and to the toes.. what the heck might as well finish it and give it a wash. So now, I'm done and time to find something else to do.

Maybe, I'll just catch-up/start on the FiddleSticks Knit-along. Can't try and plan everything too closely. Life's not fun, if it's too predictable.

I'm also getting myself a Christmas present this year. A little carrot that I've been promising myself for meeting the deadline.

Kiri

Tracy, brave soul is also hosting a knit-along for Kiri. So if you want to join in, go visit her and drop her a note. I'm going to enjoy watching everyone's beautiful shawls roll in, which recovering from the nasty lurgy.
