I'm being a good girl. . . . .

. . . and only working on one thing at a time! Right now I'm finishing off the second 'rainy day' sock that I started a few weeks ago. After I finished the first one I think I discovered the Sirdar book with the lovely boleros, and I feared second sock syndrome had hit me big time. I didn't cast on for the second sock for a good couple of weeks! In fact I think I finished a whole bolero (the green one) and started on the pink one before I even cast on for the second sock.

Now, is it just me or are you thinking it too? Christmas is just a few short months away!!!! And that's what's got me set on working on just one wip at a time. The socks aren't even a Christmas gift! They are just something I promised a friend I would knit, oooh about 6 months ago! So they must be first off the needles, then I will start to concentrate on a few other wips that have been in hibernation. I am promising myself that I will not cast on for anything new (that is not intended for a Christmas gift) before I finish all the wips that are intended for Christmas gifts - are you confused yet?

After I've finished the sock I will start on the little Debbie Bliss sweater I started months ago....

I think last time I mentioned it I only showed a picture of the close up ribbing. I didn't want any of the family seeing it because it was meant for a Christmas gift for my nephew's little boy. But in hindsight, does it really matter if they see it (and I don't even think they will, cos I doubt they even check my knitting site), so I'm posting pictures anyway and will keep showing the progress on such knits. My aim is to knit a little something for the 'babies' in my extended family, those being the kids of my nephews and nieces in England who we've just spent two weeks with.

So all that said, I will jump off here and go finish off a sock! I'm on a roll and hope to have it off the needles in the next couple of days - wish me luck!
