Knitting Frenzy

Thinking I would have the time, I am knitting some gifts for Christmas... Next time I do this, would someone thump me on the side of the head please?

Knitting for Christmas = stress
New never knit before patterns = stress
My kind of knitting: long and boring = stress because of the time it takes to knit something

So this coming Friday, I have signed to get knitting help for two patterns I am making for Christmas, after which I will be busy knitting up a frenzy in time to give out said gifts. That is, if I am able to make them independently after the knitting help.

I like patterns from Churchmouse Yarns and Teas.  If I lived close by, I would try to get my knitting help from them.

This is one of the projects on my knitting needles. I am doing this scarf for a man in my family and the colorway is called Overcoat. The yarn is British Blue Wool by Erika Knight.  It is a high quality, beautifully soft yet strong yarn.

This colorway is called Overcoat

These colors are masculine and fun.  Check out my progress on this project on my Ravelry page.  I knit a whole section today, one of five. There's a lot of love in a piece like this...

Click, click,

Over and out.

Knitting is an enjoyable, relaxing hobby. Don't let the approaching Christmas season change that!
