I'm beginning to stun myself. I knocked out three Christmas balls for a relative AND got them in the mail today. They weren't a big deal to do but I never envisioned being able to finish the socks and the lapghan much less any other project. Great stash buster. May be a cool idea for Easter eggs or something too.
My mom really liked the Fuzzy Feet (from Knitty) I did for dad and has mentioned them on a few occassions. I actually got one done and cast on the second tonight. What's so awesome about that pattern is for a sock, it goes so fast. I don't do a high cuff, only about 10 rounds and I garter a few of those so it doesn't roll too bad.
Fulling things are just loads of fun. It really is like magic. I doubt if I'll get mom's Fuzzy Feet completely done but it'll give me a good project to work on in the airport.
That's probably the worst part of being gone any length of time---carrying enough projects to keep you busy in the evenings and during waits.
Tomorrow's gonna be a busy day. I have some volunteer work to do, actually helping the office staff so they can have their Christmas party. I'll just answer the phone and do my best Sgt. Schultz imitation---you know the one I know No-thing!. Then it'll be full on until we get to the airport Wednesday.
