Checking My List Twice

I'm still plugging away at my Christmas knits. Ok, that's a little bit of an understatement. I'm kind of frantically knitting every spare second, but a sick kid and a lot of snuggles on the couch mean I have a little more time than I originally thought -- which only means I'm ADDING to my list instead of subtracting. Not smart, remember I said
I surrendered? I lied. Sorry, it wasn't intentional I just can't help myself! So here's the original list
- An afghan
- 3 pairs of fingerless mitts
- 3 cowls and or caplets
- 2 pillows
- a poncho
- 2 toddler vests
- a baby sweater
- a Christmas sweater for Brooklyn
Here's the modified list
-
An afghan 2 afghans
- 3 pairs of fingerless mitts
-
3 cowls and or caplets 2 caplets
2 pillows
- a
poncho
-
2 toddler vests 1 toddler vest
- a baby sweater
- a toddler sweater
- 2 tumbler cozies
a Christmas sweater for Brooklyn
Here's what's done!
2.5 pairs of fingerless mitts (only 1 mitt left to go!)
1 Toddler Vest
1 Toddler Sweater
1 Baby Sweater
My "plans" for tonight are to finish that last fingerless mitt, knit the two coffee cup cozies, make a batch of hardtack (recipe and definition to come as a separate post) and make a batch of caramel corn.... I use the word "plan" loosely because I'm sure it won't all happen but I'll start with great intentions!
Oh! And I thought I was going to make a bunch of ornaments but I got one of them done and realized two things 1 - they're more work than they look like they wold be. Although they're very easy and rewarding they take just as much - if not more - time as a fingerless mitt. And second, they're way too cool to give away so we can add 1 completed ornament to the finished list but I'm keeping this one for myself!

The finished baby sweater is the C
amilla Babe pattern by Carrie Bostick Hoge. I made this
one for myself (adult size of course) and have plans to make another one for Brooklyn once Christmas is past. I was originally hoping to get one done by Christmas for her to wear but maybe New Years instead because it only took me 2 days to whip up this baby sweater! It's a highly recommended knit! Done on a US size 7 and in Nice & Knit Worsted it goes quick, it's super easy and oh-so-adorable!
