LOL! I'll stop you if you promise to stop me. I found myself wondering if I could knit three pairs of socks between now and christmas. Three pairs?!?! I know I couldn't do that. Then again, that probably wouldn't prevent me from thinking about it. 
I just finished up a pair of blankets for a friend that's having twins. I was weaving in ends about an hour before I was due at the baby shower. I'm always down to the wire with knitted gifts. I'm not sure why I think that I'll suddenly be able to knit faster just because I'm making a gift. LOL! I do the same thing. I am not a very fast knitter, but clearly if I am doing it for someone else, I will be faster. In my head I am a fast, highly skilled knitter who doesn't need to follow a pattern. Reality is I'm a slow, still learning knitter who should probably spend a little less time "winging it." It's amazing how the brain works when you're "high on wool fumes", as the Yarn Harlot sez.  |
