*%#$@!&$%^!!!! It's the TENTH!!!

What the heck happened to December? Last I checked it was still around the 1st, and I had most of a whole month till Christmas. Now I have two weeks to (a) finish the current pair of socks (and I'm still about an inch and a half from starting the heel); (2) make an entire other pair of socks; and (iii) do all my Christmas online ordering, which by waiting so late, I'll probably have to pay extra for quicker shipping to get them in time.

I really thought I had this all under control ... back around the 1st.

Oh, and since I have to mail the socks, I really don't have till December 23 or so to get them done. I have, like maybe 8 days.

Okay, it's about to become a serious knitting frenzy here.

But in the good news column, someone's actually reading the blog! I had comments! Thanks for the encouragement, and for the tip about the turkish toe - I'll definitely try that! I do prefer toe-up socks, but I'm always up for trying new techniques. In fact, I have some uber special new techniques to try as soon as I get these Christmas socks done. But more on that in a later post ... must ... knit ... more.
