Off the Needles and On the Needles

Orangina is FINALLY finished and I can hardly believe it myself. I can also hardly believe that it actually took me an entire month and a half to get done. But in my defense in between knitting marathons of Orangina to finish it by Christmas, I made up a hat pattern, and made six of them this week. I'll post the pattern as soon as I write it up. And I love it because I can finish one in two hours. The only project on the needles right now is Endora by Berroco. I hate Berroco for the most fugly patterns ever created by and for knitters. But every now and then, they come through with a pattern, and as far as baby blankets go, this is going to be beautiful. Two different sized cables in the most delicious yarn ever, with a border that's just as soft. I have until January 6th to finish it, so I'm not at all worried. But the fact that I have a sweater that still needs to be started, 1 1/2 sleeves on the Berkshire Sweater (why the bloody hell can't I finish this damn thing), and a scarf for a man who's 6'4" and the yarn hasn't come yet...I'm worried. Scratch that....terrified. There's just no way in the world I can pull it off. But like every knitter, every year, I will do my damnedest, staying up for hours and hours trying to finish in vain. But really....I figure if I just stop sleeping, eating, and talking to people, I'll be more than fine....wish me luck! In the meantime I'll keep dreaming about the day I actually get to start my Lady Eleanor from ScarfStyle. I think i'll just start planning next Christmas...NOW.
