I am a list whore! For two reasons…really. One… I need a list to keep track of things, be it work tasks or grocery lists, so I don’t forget about them and Two, there is something incredibly satisfying about crossing things/items off the list. I am either very well intentioned or damn right crazy. Here is my To Do List for Christmas projects for loved ones.

Project	Progress	Notes/Thoughts
Mom’s Girl Friday		This is going by really fast. I have actually been quite surprised by that. I’ve got the back and front left part complete and halfway through the right front. The yarn feels wonderful too. It’s been a pleasure–maybe a FO in a few weeks?
Jermaine’s Vest		I’m still in the process of finalizing the pattern for him. I’m writing it myself The challenge of knitting behind his back is still a little challenging but I try to think of the up side to his weird work schedule–I can work on his vest
Rose’s Socks		Pattern is to be determined. Man is that woman excited over socks. yay!
Rays Socks		I’ve got two good male sock patterns in mind for Ray and Corey. Escalator Socks and Basketcase Socks. The first one was written by the infamous LSG Mod, Eudyptula and the latter was written by another Rav buddy of mine, Dave. Nice way to show some love, right? They’re very nice, guy friendly patterns
Corey’s Socks		I have this image of handing Abby her loverly sweaters and Rose her socks and then be empty handed with Corey. Oh noes! Truth be told, I don’t know him that well but my girl, Rose, loves him to pieces, he’s a great dad he’s served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. If the man wants a pair of socks, I’ll hook him up.
Courtney’s Socks		I want to knit this girl a sweater. She’s so worth it to me. But the woman just wants socks. OK, I guess? Pattern TBD
Abby’s OTHER Cardigan		Originally Abby was going to get one sweater but then Kirsten Jensen asked if I could test knit her wonderful cardigan. Couldn’t turn that down now could I?  On my Ravelry project page, I simply titled it Abby is my Barbie…cuz…well…she is.
Jermaine’s Gloves		OK I don’t know about these. Gloves? God knows the man wants some so that’ll be my inspiration but after knitting for finger #4, it gets old. This will be a true test. His vest takes priority
Family Stockings		I dont know how realistic this will be. AS MUCH as I’d love for my family to have some stockings, I also don’t feel too too terrible if, of all things, this one gets postponed till next year

I hope to make progress on these. Perhaps I should hop on my futon and pick up the needles as opposed to typing on this here computer. hmmmm
