I shall be knitting for the rest of my natural life

[hiding_places]

I like to knit. I like to make things for people. You'd think that these two inclinations would work well for one another, and most of the time they do.

Except for right now. Because I have so many things on my knitting plate that I basically will be knitting until my hands fall off. I'm not sad or angry about this, I just hope I can work fast enough to get my gifts done on time!
Here's what I've got going on, and there's a bit of a theme:

-Baby blanket as a thank-you to one of my professors (seriously one of the best professors I've ever had)
-Bibs and
-A baby cardigan for my hairdresser (it's a long story)
-A stuffed bird for my Mom
-A stuffed Corgi for my brother
-A bag for my friend Anne
-A as-yet-undetermined something for my soul sister Sandy
and
-A dice bag for my friend Ryan.

I'm working on the baby things first because I really want those to be finished while they can still be used, and luckily I'm halfway through the bibs (whoot whoot 2-hour projects!) and I've started the blanket.

Let's do this shit.
