One hat on commission from a guy in California who saw the Firefly Jayne hat<\/a> 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.
\nOne pair of mittens plus “lover’s mitten” for mother and new husband. The wedding was today.
\nOne cabled hat for friend of Dad’s who needs a chemo cap. I’ve already made her a nice hat in Berroco Chinchilla<\/a> 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)<\/a> when Dad admired my cabled hat.<\/a>
\nOne cabled hat and one kid’s hat for another friend
\nOne baby item for a friend who is having a baby shower in February
\nOne 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.
\nOne 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.)
\nAnd THEN maybe – maybe – I can do something for myself. Yeesh. I think I’m going to stop knitting for other people unless they pay!<\/p>\n

Naw, I can’t do that. Curse my soft heart!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
