Shopabit, out of necessity

I am not a shopper, but it becomes a necessary evil this time of year. So a lot of quality knitting time got hijacked this weekend. I'm pleased to report, however, that I got a whole lot of stuff crossed off my Christmas shopping list. My husband and I decided that we would have everything done by this coming weekend, and we're on track to do it!

Four years ago, we went to Italy for Christmas (it's a long story) and we had to get everything done before December 18. The day before we left, I remember thinking Wow! it would sure be nice to stay home and enjoy the holiday now that all the work is done! Since then, we have tried to duplicate that effort but have never quite succeeded. This year, I think we'll make it, and we'll even be done before the 18th.

I did knit a little over the weekend:

I turned the heel and finished the gusset on the Wildfoote sock. The scarf got mostly neglected. I'm going to put off working on Lochinver until after Wednesday. I am in charge of an all-day workshop that day, and I need to conserve my mental energy and weekly stress quota. I suspect that taking the next step on Lochinver might send me over the edge.

You guys are an inspiration to us all!
