Christmas Knitting and Socks in Progress

Today I finished my Christmas knitting! (I still have several presents left to make, that don't involve knitting) I made a total of 20 dishcloths. It feels so good to be done! It's fun seeing them all spread out. :) Since I've finished the more urgent projects, I've been working on something a little more fun, my second pair of socks! Here's a picture, and I'll write more about them when they're finished! Hopefully, that won't be too much longer!

November KAL

This month's KAL was a squirrel pattern. I think it's so cute! I like squirrels, at least, when they aren't eating our hibiscus, or teasing Kirby, which they do frequently. :) If you say "squirrel" or something similar, ("school" works, and so does "quail") Kirby will run as fast as he can to look out the window, no matter what he was doing before!

CYT Pattern

I am in a theater group called CYT. (Christian Youth Theatre) I believe there is a national CYT, but ours is local. It's run by Mrs. Natalie. You'll hear more about CYT later because I'm in the Christmas play next month. Anyway, I designed this pattern for Mrs. Natalie's Christmas present. I don't know if anyone would have a use for these initials, but here is the pattern, just in case.

Christmas Knitting in Progress

These past few weeks I've been working on knitting Christmas presents for various people. I've done 9 dishcloths out of 20 so far. I'm having fun! I love Christmas time, and knitting presents is getting me excited. :) I'm almost halfway done! (Last year I was really behind, so I decided to start earlier this year) Here's a picture of the ones I've finished so far, I'll post another once I've made them all. Kirby decided to "help" me. That's his "Am I going to get in trouble for this?" face.
