woohoo!

Woohoo! They're done. Well..there is one more that is in progress but all I've got left is an arm and a tail and its super cute. But these guys were all done and I couldn't wait until all the final animal was done to get pictures! Just on the off chance that any of the kidlets these are going to ever check my blog (doubtful but you never know) I'm not saying which one goes to who. Not until after this weekend when they get them!

Almost Done...sorta

I keep feeling like I'm almost done with all the critters for Christmas...but then I think about it and I still have a good 5 hours left of work, just on the main 6 (which actually got expanded to 7) I have one Knitter Critter 100% done and photographed. 5 are just missing arms. Due to the expanding to a 7th, that's an extra 5 or so hours on top of the time it will take to do the arms for the others.

Well, at least the 2nd pair of socks is getting close. I just turned the heel last night! It will be done in plenty of time. Yay for that.

Christmas Knitting

No matter how early I start, I think I always end up running out of time for all my Christmas knitting. Two years ago I had to give my SIL only one sock because I hadn't finished the second one. Last year I had to give my mom only one of her washcloths because I hadn't finished hers (I made some for all the women in the family.....they may be simple projects and my family isn't huge...but it was a lot of work)

But anyway, I think I've made a good start. One pair of socks is done. Another is in progress and will go quicker since they are a shorter pair and I'm doing them in only stockinette stitch...that makes them go lots faster!

And as I mentioned before, I'm making lots of jellybums. At least 6 minimum. Maybe another 3 or 4 depending on time constraints. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten word on favorite colors and animals from a couple of the kids and I don't want to duplicate anything...color or animal if I can help it. So...I figure since the style of legs is the exact same on all the animals, I'm just going to start making legs in all the different colors I have and when I figure out and make the critters that need them, they'll be ready!
