First Snow and the Need to Knit Fasts

I'm very much a year round knitter.  There was a time when I knit holiday gifts like sweet Katherine. Katherine made beautiful fingerless gloves for her whole family this year.  

There was a kind of silly

pressure involved in this Holiday knit deadline, for me.  

This year I've knit some things I wanted to knit without a specific person in mind, and it is now becoming clear who will get these few finished  knits for Christmas.

Yesterday's remarkably early snow, however, sent a wave of panic over me.  Then I remembered, I am not gift knitting per say this year. 

I have to finish the baby poncho started early this summer by a another baby shower date of December 3rd.   I am almost finished with the little by vest and its is darling.   I don't have a baby boy/toddler yet to give it to, but when I do it is going to be really a fun gift to give.  

In the "Like Channon" department, I bought a new winter coat from Eddie Bauer and I do need to knit myself a new blue hat. I have the yarn from Kim's friend Kim who was my fall swap partner. 

Mostly, however, I want to knit myself the vet with the v neck and reverse shaping now that I understand it; making the childs vest first boosted my courage.  

So let it snow.  Let it snow.  Let it snow.  I'm knitting without pressure this Season.   I don't know how Mrs Claus does it every year
