exchanging

you all may have noticed that i joined quite a few exchanges this fall. i am happy to report that those mittens wee the last of the exchange knitting and the last ones to get posted. i'm done. the funky scarf is gone as is the ISE3 scarf. the mittens and 2 pair of sockwars socks have been mailed out. i'd be working on another partial pair of those if not for a bit of a postage/idiot knitter snag. but i've received notice that my socks are as good as on their way to me so i think i'm out. whew. and thank good ness it will soon be over. its a little nerve wracking worring about finishing with deadlines. i don't think i could ever knit with harsher deadlines than those of an exchange. my knitting is me time and thats the way its gonna stay for a while...well as soon as i catch up on my xmas knitting. but thats just 2.5 more pair of felted slippers and a stocking cap for my brother. no sweat. and i think i'm gonna have to cast on for a sweater or vest for me here soon before i co into convulsions. yes i know there is vest everest to finsh bu tthats just the ribbing on one arm away from done and i don't think it really counts as "on the needles anymore. sheesh. i better make me some progress bars so i can keep track! happy knitting all. i'm gonna go work on some socks.

I know what you mean about knitting being "you time" I feel the same way. Especially around the holidays when it feels like all I'm doing is deadline knitting!

hogwarts sock swap (year 1)

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...
