Ahhh! Christmas

Okay. There are 38 days left until Christmas!!
I'm already going slightly stitch crazy and that is not a good thing.
There are about a hundred projects on needles around my house right now, probably because I have the shortest attention span of anyone I know.
I knit a really nice hat for one of my friends in a bulky variegrated yarn (cream, light blue, and brown). I made it on really small needles so the stitches are close together and it's really warm. I added a row of yarnovers after the ribbing just to make it a bit more special.
Then I'm working on a pair of dark purple mittens for one of my friends. I finished one, and I started the second, but they're sized kind of oddly, so I might have to remake them.
Tonight I started working on a Harry Potter inspired scarf for the only friend of mine who is as obsessed with the book series as me. It's made with (gasp!) red heart on size 15's. I was loathe to use that yarn, and now my fingers feel like crap, but it's not that itchy and I'm planning on doing some major work on it to soften it up.
I also got some really pretty white and grey twisted yarn to make a scarf for a friend. I figured that the grey streaks would make the cables in the scarf stand out. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow as soon as I take some.
