no I can honestly say I don't feel ready for the holidays still have my middle daughter's blanket to finish only 9 inches to go at least I hope to do it that way I want to make sure it'll grow with her so I trying to shoot for between 60-65 inches not sure if it'll be enough what do you all think is a good size blanket for an 8 year old?

Here is my snuggie I have to weave in my ends and take pics of the finished item. This went way fast.

I made a 'ghan for my 8 y/o son, and it was 60". I just wanted it to cover the top of his bed, not counting the "pillow's space", if you know what I mean.

:clover with your DD's 'ghan! :cheer :cheer You can do it!!! :cheer :cheer

I just did the same to see what was left - I'll get there. Just a few small projects left but I have to start decorating & wrapping too... What's left on my list - a pair of slippers, a guy's hat, a beret, (2 if there's time but I already have a pair of mitts done for her). I have to finish DD's purse & line it, plus line 2 more purses. A few other odds & ends as well, kitty & dog toys, gift card holders, but I can make these in about an hour or so each. It will get done. DH is being so helpful too. We sit on the couch at night "watching" TV & he pulls more yarn from the skein when I need it. That way he can say that he helped too. What a guy, huh. lol

KellieD · December 2, 2009

Can I start on Christmas 2010 if I'm not done with Christmas 2009?? :think

a_stitchintime · December 3, 2009

:lol :lol Kellie! You are too funny!

Raggedy - I am glad you have a supportive DH, and that your projects won't take you too much time for each:clap

fc1123 · December 3, 2009

well worked on the afghan for a half hour today because my wrist wants to act up again so again I have to baby it

ratdog · December 3, 2009

FC, One stitch at a time.... It will get done.

Hope your wrist feels better sson.

fc1123 · December 3, 2009

thanks trying I think I will attempt to do some more of it though only for a half hour almost done with it about 7 and a half inches to go.

RaggedyAnn · December 3, 2009

Can I start on Christmas 2010 if I'm not done with Christmas 2009??

Well, earlier I thought that if I didn't finish in time, I'd just get them a gift card for this year & finish whatever it was for a gift in 2010. I think I'll finish this year but a few things may not get done though...like the housework! lol

a_stitchintime · December 3, 2009

Lori - I thought December 26th was for housework, and signing into the Christmas2010 CAL! :rofl ...

:clover Girls... :cheerWE CAN DO IT!!! :cheer

...and just think of how happy our checkbooks will be that we did! :devil :lol

:hug

HELP!!! I can't think of anything for people... My sister knits/crochets too, so... Last year I made fingerless gloves for most everyone, and she's making scarves for everyone... I hate to make hats because we don't get that cold here... No time for blankets..... I've also made soap savers/cell phone holders, and heated neck wraps... What else is there??? Something small, no afghans, there's no time!! Any ideas, please PM me. Plus, we are completely broke, but I happen to have a lot of various types of yarn. Oish...

Well I have about an inch and a half to go on the blanket then I will work on the border of it next. Now here's a little good news Santa Claus is almost done the only thing left to do is put his eyes on him. And now that I'm completing these projects I will be in for next year again this is one of the cals I will do again.

tralee · December 6, 2009

fc1123~ way to go! You are almost there.

I'm just working on some ornaments for my sister. She just made this request to me. She has a cat that is breaking all of hers, so she wants some soft ones homemade by me.

fc1123 · December 7, 2009

thanks this thread has helped me to stay on track so I will keep it up again for next year,too.
