All the year-end knitting…

Mark It Monday. Yesterday I figured out how much I need to work on each of my deadline projects to meet the targets. With the Net Loss challenge in the Knitters Brewing Company’s Ravelry group running through the end of the year, I’m fairly confident I can get everything done by then; but I’m going to be pretty busy knitting all week long!

Effulgent test knit in Forbidden Fiber Company Fortitude DK on US 5 and 6.

My first deadline is Saturday when this hat test knit is due. 

Rye Light in Fleece Artist Organic Cottage Socks on US 1.

Then my son’s socks are a Christmas present. 

SHaGs in Desert Vista Dyeworks Viso on US 1.

DVD socks need to be done by the end of the month to earn my final prize. 

USA All the Way in a collection of acrylic worsted weight yarns on US 9.

Then there’s the USA Afghan, which might end up as a gift for friends at New Year’s Eve. 

(Last week I started Washington and finished Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont and Wisconsin. Four states remaining!)

SHaGs in Leading Men Fiber Arts Showstopper on US 1.

And then there’s my “other” pair of SHaGs which I would LIKE to finish by the end of the year.

This is my only active project that doesn’t have a hard deadline. I opted to defer my grandson’s sweater to his birthday- the party is the first weekend in January, so I can focus on that once my year-end projects are finished

    Wow, that’s a lot of knitting for a slow knitter like me. Good luck.

      I’m not a slow knitter, lol. It’s been a long time, but I used to knit a pair of socks in 30 hours or less in competitions. I don’t push myself like that anymore, but I do like to manage multiple projects of varying sizes. It’s all manageable as long as I stay consistent. 😊
