Can I knit three quarters of a pair of socks in just four days?

Yes, indeed. So far, 2008 is looking pretty good.

It helps that I changed my mind at the last minute and used the December Rockin’ Sock Club Yarn (as soon as I opened the package and saw that it was Medium-Weight and in great colors, I knew that the day was saved). The stitch pattern is taken from the Best Foot Forward socks in Knit Socks! They are all boxed up and on their way north. I don’t think I am giving away too much saying that – pretty much everything is north of here.

The deadline for my other large work-in-progress is a little more relaxed than the last couple have been. After all, what could be more relaxed than a tree skirt I don’t need until next year?

Check out my stylin’ new yarn tote.

I have completed an eleventh of the tree skirt from Handknit Holidays. This is such a pleasant knit, I really love the cables and the super thick yarn. I can put it down at any time to pick up other little projects:

Little projects like baby knits!
