Rushing vs. Freaking Out

I want to be like her. Because I am starting to edge towards the freaking out stage. I have three days to knit all everything I want to knit, which I have accepted is no longer possible.

My brother's blanket is 39 (out of 180) rows from completion, I hate it. It is a cute blanket but I am sick of the color, sick of the pattern. All I want to do is yank it off the needles and chuck it at someone. I just can't stand even looking at it anymore. At the same time my sister (who I love) is driving me bonkers. She keeps asking when I am going to finish her Christmas present. The truth is: I have no idea. Between finals in my college classes, huge projects in class, a choir concert, work, and doing all the other Christmas things people want me to do I have no time.

All I want for Christmas is more hours in the day.

Though my friend Madison did give me the most amazing present ever. She made me a picture with a note about missing me which of course made me cry. She also got me this yarn that I have wanted ever since I started knitting.

Beautiful right?

I can't believe she remembered though because I only mentioned it once like eight months ago. I am already looking at what to knit with it. Nothing has really sang out to me yet. I am thinking about knitting a shawl type thing with it, for myself.

Back onto Christmas though, I still need to knit a bear, dinosaur, shawl, scarf, and cowl. I have accepted that I probably will not get anything else done other than that blanket. Next year I am starting in July and am not going to knit anyone anything as large as this blanket. I hope to start posting more regularly after Christmas. I plan to start doing a wordless Wednesday post and then posting Monday and Friday. I feel like posting more regularly would be good for me.

Anyway, I hope you all have an amazing holiday season!
