Countdown continues and

by barbara waters

so do the FOs . . . there are 6 hats and 1 bag now completed. For those of you keeping up with me here, that is one Finished Object for each of the 7 grandkids! Hurrah!

Now, I am working on - and halfway completed - the Christmas present for daughter number 2. I have plans for the FO for daughter #1, but need to purchase a new pair of needles! Ack! How can that be? How is it possible that I do NOT have the needle size needed? Sheesh - you’ve got me!

It looks like others have the bug, too. ;) I have a Christmas vest, thank you, that I pull out each December for our holiday party at work - gotta love having some fun. Hmm, just might pull out the reindeer ears, too. haha - okay, maybe not. We will, after all, be in a public place. ;)

Did want to share this article with you, though. If you have been having fun making purses - and then wondering how to finish them off - check out these cool leather tote handles.

I am loving this bag:

So, how about all of you . . . did you take the pledge? Are you purchasing homemade or making your own? How’s it coming? Are you going to make it before the deadline?

Off you go now . . . get those needles clacking. ;) Enjoy the fun of making and giving a part of yourself.

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
