Over the past couple of months, when there was pretty much no use in even attempting to justify more yarn purchases, I started the ol’ “But I’m going to make this into a Christmas present” routine. Well, just now I finally took a few minutes to take stock of the Christmas knitting I’ve promised myself….

And I would have to knit more or less a sock a week to make it.

That’s on top of about as many other objects as there are socks.

After breathing into a skein of Patons Merino for a minute, I squared my shoulders, and decided to try it.

Oh and did I mention I got a full-time temp job as of today? Don’t know when I’m starting yet….
