Project: Hot Mess

Only having two more gifts that needed knit sounded so damn easy...until I actually looked at the calendar and realized I was down to two weeks.

Most of the time I’m okay with not being the fastest knitter. Enjoy the process and all that jazz. But when it comes to a time crunch, I really wish I was one of those super speedy knitters that can crank out a project in a couple days. Alas, I am not.

If I can finish this gift by the end of the weekend though, I should be back on track for an early finish -



About 50 rows left before the main part of this project is finished. After that about another 30 (much shorter) rows. Any guesses about what this hot mess will become?

(I’m almost resenting the five hours (5?!?) I’ll be spending at Other Half’s work party tonight. I was already not really looking forward to it, now I’m thinking about all that lost knitting time too)

Edit: Is it mean to ask for guesses, when I’m pretty sure no one could? I am just really enjoying this part, since I’m missing out of the surprising the giftee part because I let her choose it!

Wanna see a girl talk to herself? Here you go!

Headed to Other Half’s stuffy work party now. Oh joy. I wish we were skipping this and only going to family day instead. For that they are renting out the local ice rink for a couple hours. (unfortunately that one we’re going to miss probably)

Can I both avoid party anxiety and keep up with a hockey game by sneakily refreshing my phone under the table?
We’re about to find out!
Twitter updates will be my one friend...well besides the other half obvs.

At any rate, it can’t be worse than last year. They haven’t hired a magician this time.
