Maybe.
I had a notebook with ideas on what to knit folks I love for Christmas. I had started very early, in the summer even. I did this exactly the way I should have done it.
There's no way I will get anything done.
Lately, work has been on the edge of "way too much" and recently, it's jumped off that edge. I've been working more in the evenings to keep my head above the water line and it's really wearing on me when I would rather spend time with friends, family and my knitting.
Speaking of family, my rescue pup, Eva, has taken a turn for the worse. The vet calls this period hospice and some of the meds are helping her with pain and letting her eat and drink. At this point, I'd rather work and knitting go to the background so I can spend time with her.
I finally frogged the work and re-skeined the yarn from Becky's present I had started. That was a huge step and another reason why I think my heart wasn't in this.
After all this, I decided that handmade Christmas presents are not in the running this year. There was just too much pressure at fitting everything in. That being said....
Things are still being made. I've decided they will be "I love you" gifts.
A little less pressure in my life will help me with everything, I think.
same concept in knitting
