Only 6 more knitting days until Christmas and I'm ahead of the game. Theoretically, I am done, but I still hope to get this second vest done for Matt. The front is done and I've cast on the back. I hope to get to the armhome shaping by the end of the day Tuesday, finish the back by Thursday, and have it finished by Saturday. No problem.

However, if I don't get it done, it's still no big deal, as I did finish the Cable O's Vest. So it's a fun little self imposed deadline on myself, but it's not critical to have this project done by Christmas.

I did the tubular cast on for this project and I love it! It makes such a nice edge. I love doing the long tail cast on, as it's fast and easy, but I've always hated that solid line you get with it (unless you use the "purl" side as the right side). I'll also use the tubular cast off for it.

Thrown into my mix of Christmas knitting (okay, it wasn't a lot: one vest was the goal, then I added a second vest) is a baby gift. So I finished up the baby blanket that I had originally started for my vet (before I found out she decided to deliver 4 babies).

The Fuzzy Feet are almost done, but I've been concentrating on other projects. I'll get back to them after I finish the vest (or if I need a break from all that moss stitch).

Tomorrow I'm going to start a year in review of finished projects. A quick evaluation indicates that I had my most productive year for finished projects.

Sorry again for the lack of pictures. I'm off to get ready to sit in a doctor's office with my idiot husband, who doesn't see the danger in riding his bike on icy roads (and he's the lucky one... his thumb in probably only dislocated and it's actually doing pretty well... one of his riding buddies broke his pelvis on Saturday and an other broke his thumb). I guess it's a good thing that my obsession is an all season thing...
