There’s no telling. I’ve been knitting, but I just haven’t felt motivated to post. Partly for personal reasons, and partly because I just needed a break from the online crafting community.

I’ve mostly been knitting Christmas presents. The plan this year is to make a small amount of quick, instant-gratification things, but to really focus on making two or three nice presents. Once I decide on a button and make the button loop, I’ll be finished with a recycled silk wrap for my mother-in-law. After that, I’m thinking about a cable scarf, possibly a two-color one. I also want to make something nice for my granny, but the only thing I can think of that she’d need is a lap throw, and I don’t know if I’ll have time to finish one. Maybe I’ll do it for her birthday in February. Maybe she could use a short scarf, I’ll have to think about that one.

I’m halfway done with the rest of our Christmas shopping, I started super early because I realized that our budget would do better if our gift-buying was spread out over several months. It’s also fun because I get to go shopping without that “spent too much money on myself” guilt. I’m so on-the-ball that I even have a few things wrapped already. I’m going to start writing Christmas cards next week, even though I won’t mail them until after Thanksgiving.

I have no idea what’s causing this holiday organizational fit, I’m normally Miss Procrastination. But it’ll be nice to kick back and relax some this year instead of getting overwhelmed all December long.
