So, do you remember those socks I said I was determined to finish by Wednesday? The ones that I was well on track to finishing? Well, it seems I thought I could finish them with only the power of my mind. I did no knitting at all last night so the socks are, unsurprisingly, still on the needles.
Just to keep things ticking along nicely I also somehow ended up agreeing with Toby's brilliant plan that I knit Christmas presents for his whole family this year. These would be presents that I haven't started knitting yet, which will need to be finished in the next three weeks. That would probably be because he only made this brilliant suggestion last night.
I had the good idea of knitting a Curly Wurly (I believe this is the correct term) scarf for one person as they seem all the rage this year - on and off the needles. Casting on 700 stitches was not much fun but the knitting went well and I joyfully cast off feeling so pleased with myself for finishing it - if all the gifts are so quick I'll be done by next week! Then I modelled it in the bathroom mirror.
Am I the only person on whom a Curly Wurly scarf looks like a freakish clown ruff? If it's just me maybe I can give it to someone with a clear conscience but right now I'm not so sure.
Needless to say, there was no photo of this modelling session.
