Update on my thingamas knitting.

I have finished the back of DH's jumper having at last found the pattern, and done 2 inches on the front. I have also knitted the straps of my mums bag and made a 2inch start on the front.

I have also finished a croc scarf and started another (think I have already mentioned that!!?)

I have also hit a hitch as well, I recieved a custom order through babykind for abroad, I asked the lady if she could wait till after christmas cause with the posting date being the 13th I would be cutting it fine. I also thought that I could get my christmas knitting done then start on her order once I was clear. But she said she wants it for christmas, never mind best laid plans and all that.

croc scarfs, one knitted by me and the others by my mum.

She has also knitted a seafoam scarf and an adult croc scarf, and is now asking for more projects to keep her busy. I think she needs to get down the LYS and treat herself to a project or two but she'd rather pinch mine I think

She'll be asking to join the forum next, Cathie Wink

I did suggest it to her, but I can't see her joining, though it would be nice if she did, there is so much out there that she is missing.

wow, you're getting lots done, brilliant! LOL at your mum stealing your projects - that would drive me mad! Perhaps you could buy her an assortment of yarn for Christmas and point her in the direction of Knitty or Magknits? Laughing

Just to round things off for this thingmas thought it would be good to see how everyone got on.

I knitted two pairs of adult socks - both were happily recieved - but didn't manage any of the children's pairs, or the pair for Mr L.

Chunky jacket for my sister was finished and unwrapped on Christmas Day - she was really happy with it (she'd chosen both pattern and yarn).

Rogue was finished on New Year's Eve and given to my niece in the afternoon. She loved it - and I was really pleased with the fit and look of it on her.

The fingerless glove is still partnerless, though the partner is the only thing on the needles at the mo - so will be finished soon.

The nativity set is still sadly unstuffed - except for three sheep who are stuffed but legless Laughing

So, not too bad - but deffo need to start earlier for Thingmas 08 Confused
