Duckies Everywhere

Christmas themed rubber duckies have been mysteriously appearing on my desk for the past week. The first one was a reindeer duck. I have named him Ralph. He was to go with all of my llamas. To truley understand that meaning you have to hear the llama song. The next one appeared yesterday morning. It is an elf duck, yet to be named. This morning Santa came as a duck. I looked online to see how many different types of rubber ducks there are, and this could go on for a while. I'll be interested in seeing how many duckies appear while I'm gone for Christmas. I have all ready dropped the hint to the rest of the office that I should have duckies for all the major holidays.

I have finished the family's Christmas knitting. Just in the nick of time, too. His family is doing Christmas tonight. I don't have a clue on what my family is doing. I know that I'm not going to my sister's. Neither one of us want to drive that far just for a free meal. I still have both sleeves, the front bands, and the neck band to do for the entralac sweater. It is looking like it will be a late Christmas present for someone. I'm still going to try to finish it in time.

New year will have new wars. Both have their sign up cut off dates coming up soon. The first one will be Head Games. It is all about making hats. I know that it will have cables and will use size 7 dpn. It is suppose to start on New Year's Day. If my intended victim is reading this, I have that whole week off from work and have nothing better to do than to knit, knit, knit. The second war I'll be in is from Death by Socks. They will be doing multiple wars in a year. When one war is done, then the sign up for the next one will begin shortly after. The only thing I know about the first one will be that I'll be using fingering or sock weight yarn.

Christmas is when????

I am up to my eyeballs in holiday knitting. I shouldn't be. Some of it I started to spin for back in April. And what was I thinking when I took a Christmas entralac sweater order. It is a good thing that I'm not a social butterfly. Still the boyfriend's family party and the sweater are all due at the same time. Much chocolate and caffine will be needed to get everything finished in time.

If that wasn't bad enough, I have signed up for two knitting wars. One starts on New Year's day. I will probably be huddled in a corner somewhere screaming no more knitting, no more.
