Xmas knitting and knitting in public

Despite more chatting and teaching at Knitting Meetup on Wednesday night, I have finished finished finished 3 of my Xmas projects and made good progress on a fourth. Of course, the Snowman was finished & shipped last week. This week's progress is:

• Fuzzy Stripey #2 (this photo doesn't show cute square buttons, but they are on!)

  

• Toddler Cardi - suddenly and unexpectedly, this project is fully done! I found a half-finished girl-colored cardi in my UFO pile and figured out how to adjust the sleeves to be wearable and, hey, presto, finished prezzy!

  

• Meadow Flowers - finished 1 length of edging, 2 more to go. This will probably be the next Xmas item finished.

  

After a pretty dry spell in November, I was able to knit-in-public twice this week, hurray! Sunday at SnB SJSU, where I rudely threatened violence towards Lisa, a new member who had actually finished all her Christmas knitting on November 28th. Janice talked me down and honestly, I have to admire someone who can plan ahead that well. I'm just mad 'cause I'm not that cool. I worked on Meadow Flowers edging and the Step Above socks.



At Santa Clara County Knitting Meetup on Wednesday, I worked on the Step Above socks - I've now got the entire leg portion finished except the waste yarn section. Woo! Knitting Meetup had 17 peeople at our special extra session, including 6 new gals. So I guess that didn't suck. I set up a poll today to ask the group what their ideal meeting frequency would be. Also, I gotta remember the name tags next time!
