Knitting to-do.

January 22nd, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments

One hat on commission from a guy in California who saw the Firefly Jayne hat and wanted one himself. Halfway done – but I’m out of one color yarn and must wait until Monday for it to arrive. This guy’s already paid me, so it’s first on the list.
One pair of mittens plus “lover’s mitten” for mother and new husband. The wedding was today.
One cabled hat for friend of Dad’s who needs a chemo cap. I’ve already made her a nice hat in Berroco Chinchilla which she really liked, but I had to open my big yap and offer to knit her another like my own (but in softer yarn) when Dad admired my cabled hat.
One cabled hat and one kid’s hat for another friend
One baby item for a friend who is having a baby shower in February
One pair of angora baby booties and (hopefully) matching angora socks for the mom – this is not the above baby shower gift, it’s another kid.
One skinny scarf in Berroco Optik for my mom, who specifically asked me to do something for her. (The weird part – I bought two skeins of the exact color she wants A YEAR AGO on the way to Simucon, thinking, “You know, Mom would really like this. And now she decided, without knowing that, that she wants THAT.)
And THEN maybe – maybe – I can do something for myself. Yeesh. I think I’m going to stop knitting for other people unless they pay!

Naw, I can’t do that. Curse my soft heart!

    If you knit me a man, I’ll pay you with a limerick. You can even pick the type of yarn.

    I do happen to have a pattern for a knit Henry Rollins, Joey Ramone, or Joan Jett. You can see pics of the completed project (not by me) on the Nov 9th entry here: http://www.yarngirls.com/

    Probably not quite what you had in mind, though. 🙂

    That… is far too funny. Just pointing them out is worth at least a limerick.

    Tvini’s a knitting fool.
    She makes scarves and hats when it’s cool.
    A man, she can fein
    With needles and skein –
    Cute enough to make you drool.
