It’s beginning to look a lot like . . .

by barbara waters

. . . I’d best get working on Christmas gifts, huh? What in the world happened to October?! And, September, and August . . . and the rest of 2008!?! I cannot believe how quickly time is flying by now that I am older.

What? Me older? Nahhhhhh - not really. I think I am just stuck in a time loop where I have to get up every morning and go to work and work all day and come home at night and sleep all night and get up every morning . . . you see what I mean? Yeah, stuck in a loop!

Well, somewhere in that loop I am going to have to try to get my Christmas knitting done! I have items picked out for a couple of the grands (and friends), but not all yet. I see things I would love to knit and I have all the greatest plans in the world to do so . . . but somehow the time just gets away from me.

This is what I’d like to make oldest granddaughter and her bff - just because they will get such a kick out of them and be the ONLY ones in school wearing them - that, and that alone, would make it all worthwhile!

The girl’s will be pink with black ribbon and her bff’s will be blue with black ribbon - their fave colors. I’m a good gramma, I am.

Of course, there are six other grands to knit for as well . . . and I have nary a clue as to what any of them will be getting. Okay, I have some ideas, but not anywhere near getting started. I’ll be taking a trip for work to IN in a couple of weeks - I’m thinking I’d like to take along some yarn and needles and see what comes out of them.

Hey! Tomorrow/today is IT! After nearly TWO years of ad campaigns and campaign slogans - Tuesday is the BIG day. Don’t forget to get out and vote, okay?

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!
