I have been knitting socks for most of the last 2 months. I finished 2 Christmas stockings in October, then proceeded to move on to traditional socks.
I made my son a pair of shorties, my daughter a pair of shorties and am now working on another pair of socks. They aren't shorties, but they also are not regular length either, they fall somewhere in between. (midi's???)
I am not even on the page of gifts for this holiday season. Maybe I will make up some soaps/scrubs and use that for gifts. I don't have the money to do much else, nor am I in much of a giving spirit. I just want to sit by a nice warm fire, with Enya playing in the background, and knit.
Needless to say ... that ain't gonna happen any time soon (if ever).
My son wants me to knit him a sweater. We have the pattern, now I need to get the yarn. Acrylic for him, as everything he wears ends up in the washer and dryer. He's picked out the color, now I just have to find the yarn at a good price. I think I can make it for around $40 in yarn, not including my time. Not too bad.
