Still trucking along.....

I finally have a day off (sort of) to get some knitting done. I don't know where to start! I still have to figure out projects for the holidays and set up my sewing station - need to find a sewing table or sturdy desk. AHHHH!!!! So many things, so little time. Meanwhile - Extreme Boot Camp is kicking my butt into shape and leaving me wiped out. It's all going to be worth it when I go on the cruise. Speaking of which - need to finish a few projects for the cruise. No more dilly-dallying.....

Summertime and the knitting is ......

So living in California and being a knitter during the summer is tough. I'm trying to get my fall and winter knitting done and it's way to hot to even look at the projects, let alone physically knit them. What is a knitter to do?

Here's a list of projects I'm working on:
- Wild Max Sweater (due date: Oct 2009 for Movie Premier of Where the Wild Things Are) - it's almost done, just need to figure out the hood situation.
- Oceane Shawl (due date: Aug 29 for cruise to Cabo)
- Owls Sweater for mom (due date: Christmas 2009)
- Holiday mug cozies for, well ..... the holidays
- Miss February Sweater - I'm almost done with it and have realized that I don't like it at all - so I'm going to frog it and do something else. It's a sensitive subject for me - so it's hanging out until I feel comfortable enough to touch it again.
- Abstract Sweater (due date: when I can get to it and buy the rest of the yarn - there's like 12 different yarns going into this sweater)
- A new sweater for dad (due date: ha ha funny.... considering that I have to design the sweater from scratch, it might take a while.
- A sweater for Morgan (due date: when he's put a ring on my finger!) - until then it's just beanies, which he loves, but he really wants a sweater.
- A scarf of some fabulous design (due date: I still have to figure out what this fabulous design will be)

So I've got my basket full of projects and the weather's not getting any cooler. Maybe I should encircle myself with fans (going full blast) and sit in the middle with my knitting. Now if only I can steal all the fans in my parents' house without them knowing......
