Compile that with 10-hour work days (thank-you long commute), animal responsibilities, and the upkeep on the shop front, time slips away pretty quickly.
I made a list up in October of everything I have to make, and have been steadily checking things off. I'm probably about 60% done, which compared to last year, is fantastic. I was also a lot more realistic in the size of the projects I chose (no Christmas sweaters this year...).
However, to keep myself on track, and see just how realistic my goals are... I mapped everything out in excel, just like I did last year.
Then I can get back to my LeStrange Cardigan... I have missed her so.

I envy those who can manage gift knitting. I stay in a state of denial until late November and then I go crazy trying to keep up.
now that is planning!
I am not getting any gift knitting done this year....
I got my Top Cat in the mail today and it is HEAVEN. the most beautiful yellows. Thanks so much for all the wonderful wrapping and the itty bitty kitty. I can't wait to start.

I still don't know who I'm gifting to this year; hard to make things ahead as some of the family wouldn't appreciate knitted gifts. Mum or my SIL are both appreciative, the males in the family are mostly not (Dh is not in this list, he loves handknits)
Wow what a great way to keep organized! And you're so sweet knitting all those gifts! Happy knitting/crafting!
What a great way to stay organized and to manage your projects. Looks like quite a bit of knitting will be happening in the next few weeks! Have fun!!
I am BEYOND impressed with you! Job well done! I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew. And sadly, it isn't even that much!
Good luck with your deadlines! :)
