Christmas knitting is D-O-N-E!!!!

yay. so excited to finally be done with my Christmas knitting. I have made:

- 4 of these hats (for my nephews, initials on the inside of each so they know whose is whose)
- 1 of this hat (for my dad, though I'm going to add some ear flaps since its not long enough to cover the husband's ears at this point)
- 2 calorimetry's (one for a friend's birthday, one for my niece's mom)
- 1 purse that I semi-designed but its based loosely off the Marsupial Tote in Stitch N Bitch (for my 12 yr old niece)
- 2 Megan's braid's hats (for my 7 and 2 yr old nieces)
- 1 cell phone holder with strap (for mom)
- 1 pair of Cigar gloves (oldest brother)
- 1 Entwined (for sister in law)

I think that's it. I have pictures of most on the camera, but for some reason its not working again. sigh. now I just need to write down washing instructions, wrap the gifts, put them in a box and mail them to my parent's house. mission accomplished to have this done before little girl was born.

Calorimetry (I've made two in the same color, picture is not myself, but my friend who received it for her birthday today)
yarn- Patons Classic Wool Merino

looks like I may be able to start uploading the gobs of pictures on my camera as of tomorrow. figured out how to do it on the husband's Linux based computer. yay!!!!

some stress has been relieved a bit. hoping that it stays this way.

stress

Life is way too stressful right now. Little girl is due in 3 weeks. Everyone is asking for money that we don't have. I just need life to give me a break. Its hard enough to be away from everyone I know at a time like this, I don't need stress added to the equation. I just wish I could indulge in lots of wine and chocolate, but unfortunately the damn gestational diabetes keeps me from doing so. sigh.

Thank God for knitting, it definitely does keep me somewhat sane and keeps me from freaking out more often than I already do.


in knitting news I've finished two more projects
-one winter hat for my nephew
-cell phone case for my mom

I've cast on for Entwined for my sister-in-law. needed a break from the hats for awhile. But I foresee that being finished tonight or tomorrow.

yet another project update

finished
-calorimetry, love it and making another for someone else
-Megan's braids, made it a bit smaller than the previous one since this niece is only 2.
