I've decided that next year's big project is crossing off #37 on my Life List: handmade Christmas. Every person on my Christmas list will receive a present handmade by me. There will be other things going on, I'm sure, but #37 is the big goal right now.
To this end, I've started compiling a list of who's getting what. I haven't sorted that out completely just yet, but there's one project I know I'm doing, and for whom. In the next 5 minutes I'm going to start casting on stitches to work this wrap with this yarn (color #2, fawn) for my aunt.
And no, I haven't forgotten about/given up on the sweater. I need something portable to work on for the next week or so, though, as I make my way to and from my sister's house. This project will do nicely.
I know, I know. Isn't it a skosh early to be thinking about Christmas 2011? We haven't even gotten to Christmas 2010, for pity's sake. Yes. Yes, it is. But I just bit off a very large piece of something, and it's going to take a while to chew it thoroughly. I have an awful lot to do; might as well get started.
There will be updates throughout the year (with pictures) except for things being made for people who read this blog (I'm looking at you, Mom. And you, Ditter). Don't want to spoil the surprise.
Wish me luck. I hope I don't drive myself crazy. Though that might be fun to watch too, huh?

With how time is; one need only blink and it will the xmas 2011. The homemade gifts seem like a great idea; good luck.
