Six months to Christmas- ack!

My mom informed me yesterday that it is six months until Christmas. Gotta love the little panic that sets in at the thought. It also makes me wonder why there are Christmas in July sales when half way to Christmas is in June. It reminded me of all the things I must get done before then. All the birthdays in my family fall between September and February, so I call it birthday season. I need to get knitting. First I have to decide what to make everyone...

I have too many UFOs in my studio. Two thirds of a pair of socks, about half of a baby sweater, one half of a pair of slippers, and a cardi-wrap I'm doing as a trade with an artist I've worked with before. Suppose I should step away from the computer and get to work.

I have to read the first six Harry Potter books over again before number seven comes out too.

Bag in limbo

I finished this bag the other day. I really like it and can't decide if I should keep it or sell it in my Etsy shophttp://loveyourbagdesigns.etsy.com. I don't usually carry a bag this size because I don't take much with me when I leave the house. Unless it's knitting of course.

I finished one Hedwig sock and started the other last night. I've found if you don't start the second sock immediately upon finishing the first you may never get the pair done. What good is one handknitted sock? I have more handpained sock yarn on its way to me, so I really must get some socks finished. I'll have loads of awesome socks to keep my toes warm this winter. It's hard to think about cold toes when it's 95 degrees out...

I plan on wearing my Hedwig socks to see the latest Harry Potter film when it comes out. The yarn is handpainted with colors that resemble hers. It can be ordered from http://sunshineyarns.etsy.com/ It's really lovely. I'll post photos of the socks when they're complete. I need to get busy re-reading all the Harry Potter books in anticipation of the last book:( being released next month.

Hello to whoever might see this

Hi all! Thought I could actually do something with my blog- like post on it. Never done this before, so hang with me and try not to get too bored! When I actually have something to write about I'll be back. Until then...
