Up the wazooooooo

I haven't posted much, I know, but I've been knitting lots! In the last month or so, I've made and sent: a baby blanket and two baby hats (not sure how well they fit, but hopefully they're at least appreciated); a super-awesome afghan that I was tempted to keep for myself, made extra long for my extra tall brother's birthday; a cable hat and scarf set for my sister's birthday (which I hope turned out ok; I used a kind of yarn I've never used before, so I don't know how well it'll hold up), plus a calorimetry for her too; and I finished an infinity scarf for a friend that I had on the needles for something like a month, and isn't that big, but because of the way it's done each row is realllllly long and for some reason I get bored more easily with really long rows, so it ended up taking me longer than it should have (a month for that, while I got my brother's 7+' x 5' afghan, or thereabouts, done in just a couple of weeks); and I also finally finished off this green scarf I had started a year and a half ago, and got pretty close to finished and I have no idea why I didn't finish. But now it's done. Oh, and I finished that other scarf I had a few pictures of on here, where I couldn't decide if I should do the blue or the green backing. And now I currently have a hat on the needles (which took backseat to my sister's gifts for a little while), and I think three different scarfs I'm doing for no one in particular. Oh, one is for someone in particular. And then a shawl/scarf thing I've wanted to make for a long time now, and finally got yarn for. For myself. :-)

I have pictures of all or most of these, and maybe I'll update this with them one of these days.

I have tons more projects on the docket for the next couple of months. At least two requests for fingerless gloves, which I really need to get around to. Two blankets I want to do for Christmas gifts. I think two more hats I want to do for Christmas gifts too. A few little Christmas things. I feel like there's more, too...but I guess that's more than enough. I need to get yarn for the blankets, but I think I have yarn for everything else. Maybe not the hats; I have to see what colors the recipients want. But it's cool. OH. And this isn't necessarily Christmas-related, but there are a few babies that will be born in the first few months of the new year, so I need to think about fun baby gifts I can do for them. I do have plenty of baby yarn. I love baby yarn. Such a weakness of mine.

I'm so glad I'm a knitter.
