Taking the advice of Heather and really examining my head regarding those knee high socks, I emailed the lady who had asked me to make her mom's socks and told her that I would be deluding myself, and lying to her, to think that I would be able to make these socks in a timely manner. I mean, I can't even finish my sister's Jaywalker socks by Christmas, and I had started them at the beginning of December.
I really DO love to knit socks. I just love to take my time. And I don't want the added pressure of having to make socks for someone's mother who wants them to be thick at the heel and ball of the foot, and also not be able to have a live person to try them on to make sure I am shaping them correctly.
So there you go. I am free of the obligation and it feels so good.
I have the heel flap finished of the Jaywalker, and will be turning the heel today and picking up the instep stitches and moving on. I should be finished within the next two weeks! And then that UFO can be off of my mind.
I have joined the KAL at Ravelry for The Amanda Hat. It is totally and completely darling, and I wanted to make myself a Calorimetry, but I think I will make this hat instead. I am going to use the yarn that I scored at Mosaic Moon's most recent yarn stocking in the Elements colorway. This should be a good, quick knit. I need one of those now, I think.
All right ... lunch has arrived and I am off to eat it.
Rock on and make it count.

Oh that hat is cute...I think I may give it a try. Maybe I will do it in grey or black or something....or multi...I will have to let the yarn decide.
Glad you are free of the knit socks...don't you feel so much better now?
