How are you doing on your Christmas projects? I have the scarf for Katie's teacher made. I am still working on crocheting the clothes for the girl's baby dolls. I also still have to crochet the angel ornaments for church teachers and angel dishcloths.

scarves are all done for the kids. dd's poncho was done long ago. i have put off the pouches for advent as i don't think i'll have time to fill them before the 1st. but my mom got them advent calanders so they will have something.
dishclothes are done.
i am still working on ds's blanket, but it is getting lots closer to being done.

i am making a prayer shawl for a gal at work that is donating a kidney to her sister.

and i have to add to the prayer shawl that i had given to my grandmother that passed, and then i will give it to my sister.

i need to make a couple of bookmarks for the kids, but those take no time at all.

**Early Bird** · 12-10-2005, 07:26 AM

Set of 3 dishcloths for mil -- 1 done; 2 to go. But they're quick.

Christmas stocking for DD -- well. Maybe 1/8 of the way done. If I can follow the turning-heel instructions, I'll be okay.

DD's are each knitting scarves for secret sisters. I might have to help them out to make their gift exchange deadlines.

***************************

As soon as these are done, I'm gonna start planning projects for NEXT Christmas!

lol, getting an early start huh?

**SewCrafty** · 12-10-2005, 09:04 AM

Got 3 sets of hats and scarves done plus 2 more hats.

Still have to do 2 more hats and 2 scarves and that is just with yarn.

For sewing I have a bunch of stuff, guess I better get moving huh?

**Missy** · 12-11-2005, 01:38 AM

I finished ds's hat tonight and am 3/4 done with dh's first sock.

I can only work on it when he's not here, when he is here I am working on the kids stuff.

Tomorrow for the kids I will be starting mittens I hope. I have to go look through some patterns first. Then when dh takes a nap, I'll work more on his socks.

After the kids mittens I want to do some house slippers. lets see what I can do in 15 days!

**pita1213** · 12-11-2005, 10:03 PM

i am all done except for ds's blanket

it is teh blanket that NEVER ends. i get part way through it and look at it and i'm not happy with it so i start over. i think this is the 4th time i've started over

**Missy** · 12-12-2005, 01:40 AM

I am almost finished with dh's first sock of the set i am making him. I'f he'd nap like he usually does I'd have it done, but instead he keeps waking up or stirring, so i put it away and pick up whatever i have handy sitting near me. Just have the toe to do now. He loves knit socks. He has shown off the other pair i made him to veryone who'll take a second to look, lol. and they have held up over the past ...what?... two years fantastically.

I have one mitten for ds almost finished. From the looks it might wind up being a little large. Never used this pattern before. never made a mitten before period. I am using a two needle method that i found a pattern for. next time...dpn's. Sunshine posted a link that had a pattern for dpn's, I will try that for dd's. But that being besides the point, I think the pair I am doing right now will be attractive. if it is too big, ds can layer them over a smaller pair...right?
