Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

So how's everyone's Thingmas knitting coming on. I'm in the middle of a fetching-a-thon trying to make everyone a pair for this year. They are much quicker than socks and so far have made 2 and a half pairs.

Mine's getting there, but seems a bit of a slog just now - why are scarves so long?
I've finished a hat, and need to make a pair of fingerless gloves to match, but will save them as a break from the scarves. Two of them are quite interesting, but I get fed up turning the work so often.

I've put the baby shawl down for a wee nap (it's NOT hibernating) as there are 1008 stitches just now, and it's still growing Shocked

I wasnt going to do any thingmas knitting but somehow I have ended up with a list of things which have been asked for!!

1 pair of sock size 13 (grown up size!!) - nephew
A hat and mitts for an 8 year old girl - neice
a smurf - my DS
something else (but I cant remember what) - my DD

So I think I need to get knitting. Also not on the knitting front but I havent managed to get any thingmas presents yet as I am sooooo disorganised Shocked

Should I be panicing yet?

I have somehow ended up with an afghan and 3 pairs of socks to knit and keep getting colds which are making my head feel stuffy.
I got a couple of audio books from the library today so might listen to them while knitting boring plain socks, hopefully it might make them seem quicker.
