Jay~If I were buying Christmas gifts, I wouldn’t start for another month, believe me. But the knitting, it sucks up a lot of time. And I think most of the people I give handmade objects to like them. At least I hope they do!

Esther~I beaded a little yesterday – you have to show us what you’re working on!

Lisa~We’ll have another brunch day before the end of November, I promise. I’ll teach you then.

Aimee~I get to see you in FIVE DAYS! Woohoo! (And no, I have not kept my pattern changes. Which is bad of me, but dude, I am never knitting this fucker again.

Serra~I’ve got almost all the yarn I need for the projects, now it’s just about the casting on. And knitting. Ohh, the knitting.

Vince~I am fascinated with sheep only to the point that they can supply me with wool. I like creatures that are cute and do something for me while they’re being cute.

YOu shouldn’t worry too much about what you post, even to us non-knitters it’s always interesting to hear where you’re at – and guilts the rest of us into doing some advancement on our christmas lists as well. You’ve got some really great things here, and your relatives must find themselves so fortunate to receive beautiful, hand-made gifts.

Those look like stunning projects! I’ve started on my beading course. It’s interesting since I’m not at all crafty/arty.

LOL @ Rick!

So when are you going to have time to teach me?

1. I’m doing a scarf now, but it’s for me. No Christmas knitting this year. We’ll do a Christmas move instead.

2. I hope you’re noting the errors and making corrections on your pattern as I have yet to begin this shawl and would love to benefit from your experience.

3. I hope I’m the “one other person who reads this blog”…I hope, I hope, I hope!

4. I schnorted when I read that your landlady “stepped up” to help with the cat. Hee hee. I got a visual of your LOOOOOOONG steeeeeeeeep stairway. Stepped up indeed. Hee hee!

5. I am tired and I missed you all day and I can’t wait to see you guys in ONE MORE WEEEEEK!!!

I’ve picked out the goodies for a couple of the presents I’m knitting part of. I found a neat pattern for slippers for my brother’s girlfriend, my mom’s getting a scarf I’d originally plotted for myself and I’ll make a similar one for one brother and maybe slippers for the other.

To those I’ll add some gift sets of Japanese incense (LOVE that shit and I can’t duplicate the delicate scents) and, oh, well, maybe perhaps if they’re good they’ll get soap.

Oh, who am I kidding? I’d be lynched if I didn’t send soap.

Well get knitting woman! That shit don’t knit itself!

I’m not sure what this sudden fascination with sheep is, but I’m getting a little worried.

Lefty~Cut cut to you, too. I meant not cutting it when compared to January One or the Yarn Harlot, who are obviously at the very productive end of the knitblogging spectrum.

Rick~And there goes your knitted Christmas present, mister.

ESC~That’s very smart. I’ll adopt that attitude as well. Next year. My brother and sister-in-law raved so over their scarves last year that I feel compelled to do it again this year. But this is the end. I swear it.

This is a very knitblogger post, so you’re already ‘cutting it’. And what does it mean to ‘cut it as a knitblogger’ anyway? Because I’m not ‘cutting it’. Strength in ‘not-cutting-it’ numbers? cut cut
