In October I will

[fc1123]

I can't believe it's October already and almost half way through the semester of school. Well here is my short list of what I am going to try and complete in October:

 

1. sew 5 squares together

2. work on my blanket

3. weave in ends to 3 dishcloths

[smith]

In October I will.....

 

* finish granny square blanket

 

* finish up 5 Christmas granny's for swap and mail them out

 

* finish Harley blanket

 

* one doily

 

* one scarf...I've been thinking about checking out Goodwill for fun sweaters to make one out of.

[Amibel]

In October, I will:

 

 

• Make my scarf for my swap partner.
  
• Mail out my swap partner's package.
  
• Finish my neighbor's hooded scarf.
  
• Finish the baby washcloths for Nicole.
  
• Mail out a package to my friend in Maryland which has various crocheted items in it (for her and her friends up there who are pregnant).
  
• Make the second glove of the fingerless gloves I started last month.
  
• Add one more skein to Emma's blanket.
  
• Start Zach's blanket.
  

 

To anyone curious as to why mailing packages out is a big deal, just ask a mom with more than one kid, especially if they're the same age Nearly impossible to do it AND maintain sanity.

I work and live the totally opposite side of town as the post office, the times I can go so does everyone else! The last thing I want to do after I get off work is to stand in line for an hour.

[fc1123]

well I managed to sew 3 squares together today for a blanket almost done. I think I will sew two more tomorrow.

[CrochetBoosh]

In October I will..... (or at least hope to)

1. add what squares I have to my friendship'ghans

2. Make I think it is 4 dish cloths for swaps

3. Make my swap partner their winter scarf

4. Complete and mail out all other swap items

5. Work on Christmas ornaments

(I think that's it, I should probably make my list up.)

AAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

 

I forgot there's something else that MUST be done in October: The baby shower gift for my husband's cousin, Carol Jean!!

 

*shaking head* I can't believe I forgot about it.

 

The "plan" is to make a blanket, hat, booties, an ami, some washcloths, a binkie keeper, some scratch mitts, and possibly a cocoon. I'll be lucky to get them done. At least with this baby shower I have a month's notice. I know what she wants as far as the theme & colors are: green, brown & cream with :monkey . Making the GSB from Attic 24 for the blanket and going to put a fabric backing on it to keep baby's fingers & toes from getting hung up. Of course the ami will be a :monkey too! Those 2 things have to be done for me to keep my sanity. I have been wanting to make this gift since I found out she was pregnant. Now, it's a 30 day race to see if I can manage it, along with the other *insert extremely huge number here* things I have going on!

 

So, this is #8 but more like #2.....

 

I better get off of here and get to quickly!

You could probably list a million things and accomplish every one of them! Your list last month was totally finished and I bet you did even more than what was there!

 

With some determination and LOTS of concentration, I should be able to do everything on my list this month. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Saying a little prayer might not hurt either!

so what is my excuse then?? I have no more kids at home...wait I have a 5lb dog..does he count?

I work and live the totally opposite side of town as the post office, the times I can go so does everyone else! The last thing I want to do after I get off work is to stand in line for an hour.

why stand in line? do the postage ON line not in line! then all you have to do is drop off the box and not have to wait for a clerk. Here at the big post office in the big town nearby there is even a night drop for boxes

[tiffer93]

The baby blanket is coming along now. It's 42" wide and so far it's about 8" long. Many, many more inches to go however, as I want it to be about 48" or better when finished.

 

I finished my scarf for the swap, but have at least one more in the works, as well as some more goodies so I won't be mailing it just yet. I've also done the harvest yarn shopping but will be holding off on mailing that for at least 2 weeks as I want to stuff the box as full as it will get!

 

I haven't had time to update my blog this week yet and I hope to get around to that today or tomorrow.

 

So, no checks but I am making progress.

Thankfully, DH doesn't mind going to the Post Office. He takes all my packages.

 

Today I want to finish up the Santa outfit so I can get started on Skipper's Pilgrim outfit. I am really behind on this Thanksgiving box. I still have to figure out how to make a Pilgrim dress that fits Chelsea the doll between Kelly and Skipper. As of now the poor doll has no outfits other than the one she came in.
