A Year of Projects Update - week 26

It's Christmas!!
No I'm not about to break into song.
I'm writing this in advance, so all I have to do on Christmas morning is download.
Happy Christmas everybody!

I am hoping that by now the socks that I am going to show you are nearly done and that I have cast on a second slightly larger pair for myself and that I cast on my Christmas Eve cast on yesterday.
FO's
I have 2.  I finished a sheep - here are three of them for my flock - I have given one away, so I have knitted four.
I have also cast off the hand dyed socks.
WIP's
I promptly cast on some candy cane socks for Daniel.  This yarn is making me deliriously happy and I can't wait to cast some on for me.
I also still have my sock club socks, but these are with me so are hopefully coming along nicely.
Now I only have two more WIP's.  I have done a little more to my Christmas hat (won't be done for Christmas) and have a second mitered triangle sock to do.  Both will now have to be finished later in the year.
Planning
I have been tidying up my Ravelry queue.  I hope that is now reflected in my YOP list (I have tidyed that up too).  The aim is to try to control my stash.  Next year I want to use some of it and am only going to allow myself new yarn when I have a purpose for it.
Anyway, best go.  Hope you all have a fabulous Christmas/holiday and make some time for yourself.

  1. Your sheep are so cute. Love the fact you have different types and colors. Yea for the FO on the socks. I have admired that yarn since you started them. I can see why the candy cane socks make you happy. I smiled as soon as I saw them too. Happy Christmas to you and yours.

  4. Those sheep are so adorable. I made one more purchase of yarn this last week, and now I'm going on a yarn-buying moratorium. We'll see how long I can hold to it. :)

  6. Those sheep are so cute! Is that Susan's pattern? Your hand-dyed socks turned out fabulous! I love your and Daniel's Christmas socks....so festive. I cast on a pair on Christmas Eve also. I need to re-visit and clean up my Ravelry and YOP list also. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
