December Knitting plans

Oops, December 8th already and I haven't really started on the December Goals.
Which seem to have fallen by the wayside.
I'm still knitting gifts.
I've not picked up any of the UFOs which I intended finishing.

But I have finished another pair of wristers.

Fetching, in Malabrigo, for me.

I've started a few things too!
Jaywalkers.  My first pair.  I'm not sure yet if I'll carry on with these, as the yarn looks a lot better in the ball than on the needles. That yellow is very bright!  I'm hoping these can be a Christmas gift, it all depends on whether I can tolerate these colours.

I've lost the label, so we may never know who planned this horrible colour combination.

Aqua Swirl Cushion

The colours are rather bright now that it's coming together.  At least it's small!

More plain socks

This time it's labelled: Opal Petticoat. These are destined as a Mother & Baby gift set for AC and baby O - matching socks!

Of course, the Hoxbro Japan Jacket and the Debbie Bliss Silk Bolero are sitting untouched, but I will get back to these next week, it would be grand to finish these off for the new year.  I'm finding that I haven't as much free time to knit as I want.  We have five birthdays to celebrate before Christmas, which means less knitting, and I've not started on the soapmaking, nor started Christmas shopping. In fact, I'm off  shopping en route home to buy the last few bits and pieces for Chris's birthday this weekend. I haven't even bought a card yet.

The yarn you are using for the Jaywalkers are Opal Rainforrest color Doctorfish. I have knitted a pair just like them so if you want to take a sneakpeak of what they will look like when they are done, look here: http://annamaria.typepad.com/photos/frdigt_2006/img_2405.html

I agree that this is not my favorite colorcombination. Opal has made many other much nicer colors.

I really enjoy reading your blog by the way!
Have a nice weekend!

Wouldn't Chris like the ones with the yellow in them? Love the idea of matching Mother and Baby socks, I have a pair in that Petticoat colour, one of my favourites.

December birthdays make it difficult to think about Christmas don't they? Mother and baby socks sounds like a lovely idea.

Stumbled on this via the handknitted gifts blog, & I just had to say... You don't like the colour? What? I loved it! (see evidence...)

Well, I guess we can't all think alike...
