We’ll just pretend I didn’t blog for a week and get to the topic at hand.

I wasn’t going to do any holiday knitting, per say. I’d keep working on projects but not necessarily intend to finish anything in time for Christmas. I was such a fool. I’m going to make something for each of my parents (and finish the quilt for my brother). They deserve something handmade. My mom, she’s easy. Not a fan of wool, but otherwise easy to knit for. My dad, ugh. Doesn’t like wearing socks, doesn’t get cold enough for sweaters or scarfs or gloves.  But I have found something to make for him and it’s going to be awesome. Note to Mom/Dad: avoid looking at the holiday knitting page that’ll appear soon or you’ll ruin the surprise.

Of course, I don’t actually have the yarn to make their gifts yet. That requires a run to both my LYS and Joann’s. Maybe I’ll run there today. We do get five-percent cash back on our credit cards this month. Plus it’s gift knitting, the yarn cost just replaces the cost of a purchased gift.
