- 5 gifts complete (with some random weaving in of ends and other crap like that)
- A bunch to go.
- A couple in progress.
Soon I'll have to stash the stash away so that I can find a path to my sewing machine and whip up some other things I have in mind. Like a needle case for my mother, a newly initiated stitch 'n bitcher (even though she's still sticking to garter stitch scarves). And a knitting tote that I have a plan for but need to design an actual pattern for.

Oh my gosh. I discovered this pretty neat thing called StumbleUpon. It's so cool that you need to try it. It's a toolbar that you install and then you tell it your interests and then when you click "stumble" it takes you to a webpage that other stumblers with your interests have said was cool. At first I had all these interests (like movies, family, parenting, kids), but now I've just limited it to crafting/knitting/sewing/quilting and I've come across some of the coolest sites. Then you rate the site if you like it. I guess it's like when you rate books and stuff on amazon. It's really a good time waster, like I need that, but it's totally freakin' fun. Try it, dude.

I took this book out of the library of knitting patterns, fantasizing about making these gorgeous sweaters and blankets and so on. Little did I know, I can't read knitting patterns.
Then you should take out another book from the library called Stitch 'n Bitch. It's how I learned to knit and I highly recommend it, but it's rarely available in the library.
