Quick Update

Just a quick update to keep myself as on track as possible:

Wristwarmers for Brett - First one is fwo, second one is almost half done - Goal date: 11/30
Wristwarmers for Mary - First one is 75% done (I think these will be Mary's but might end up as someone else's too) A few hours of work left - Goal date: 11/27Wristwarmers for Clara - Not started - Goal date: 11/27Wristwarmers for Michael - Not started - Goal date: 11/30Wristwarmers for Desmond - Not started - Goal date: 11/30Wristwarmers for Mindy - Not started - Goal date: 11/30Wristwarmers for Mom (different pattern) - Not started - Goal date: 12/25Hood/Cowl for Clara - About 1/3 done and making it up as I go - Goal date: 11/30Trouty Fishy for Seth - Not started - Goal date: 11/30Hunting Cowl for Seth - Need to restart - Goal date: 11/30Plaid Cowl for ? - First couple rows done, double knitting so slow going - Goal date: 11/30Thermal Sweater for me - Just need to do a couple more inches then the yoke and neckline - Goal date: 11/29Dishcloth - Finishing work only - Goal date: 11/30At least one spinning project - want to blend some fiber first - Goal date: 11/30Scarf for Magz - Not started - Goal Date: 12/31
Fiber for Hannah - Not started; use peacock colors fiber - Goal date: 12/13Nymphalidea Shawl for me - set aside for now, only finish if by some miracle I finish the rest (this is still itching at me and I can't bring myself to take it out of my purse, just in case I think I can somehow finish it by my originally intended goal date of 11/16. Yes, that part of me that thinks that's possible is delusional) - Goal date: ?

I just realized that I'm traveling over Thanksgiving weekend, which means that I probably won't get as much done as I think after Thanksgiving day. That means I should probably move up all of the "11/30" goal dates to "11/27" goal dates... especially since it's going to be hard to upload pics and post the finished projects from my phone.
Hm. I'm going to keep that in mind, but not actually change my goal dates just yet. There's still a possibility that I'll have plenty of knitting time during our trip and it's also possible that I won't run into any problems uploading from my phone. We'll see just where I am about a week before Thanksgiving...

Last night I finished up the first wristwarmer for Brett and got well into the second one while watching the Bourne series. I'd never seen them, but I tend to like action/conspiracy type movies so I've been wanting to see them for awhile. They were good, if a bit predictable and they made great movies to knit during since they were mostly easy to follow even if you missed that last bit because you were counting.

I also couldn't help myself and I cast on for the next pair of wristwarmers which I think will go to Mary? I haven't quite decided and I'm using yarn that I had in my stash instead of the yarn that I specifically picked out for Mary's gift, but it is in colors she likes. I'll do a progress report with pics eventually here. The second pair are made with self-striping yarn in autumn colors and I think they're gorgeous. The linen stitch looks pretty neat with self-striping, though not quite as I expected. But they're so pretty that I'm having a hard time going back to the plain dark blue ones I'm making for Brett.

I'm going to the Knit Group tonight at my local coffee shop, so I should be able to work on either one for a few more hours tonight no problem. I'm just not sure which pair I'll end up working on first.
