Making lists
At this time of year, I make lists. There’s the Gift List, which is sort of my master list. It includes everyone I want to give a gift to, a list of what I want to give them, and a budget for that giving. Then there’s the To-Make List, which is just like it sounds. It’s the list of things I want to sew, knit, crochet, or otherwise craft myself. And lastly, on years where I am hosting the festivities (like this year), the Menu List. That one includes all of the food I want to serve.
These lists are important to my sanity, and usually by December 19th, I have gotten my act together enough to write them out. Usually.
This year, before I take the necessary steps to remaining sane, I would like to present a new list. I call it the Things Only a Crazy Person Does the Week Before Christmas List:
- Indulge a whim to make up a new cabled headband design that nobody needs, and start knitting it.
- Finish knitting said headband, all the while stopping to write out the pattern and take photos of the process.
- Resurrect Project::Granny Square
- Devise a way to continue sharing the occasional photo in an Instagram manner without actually using Instagram (just in case I want to follow the mass exodus that has begun.
That’s it for now, but give me a few more days, and I’m sure there will be more 
How about you? In denial much?

Well I did decide to try to work out a new hat design.. it failed so far.. but hey I will figure it out! I love the cabled headband! Need someone to eyeball the pattern? Would love to help! Since I haven’t got much to do this week! (a contract knitter can’t knit if the client doesn’t send the yarn!)
Thanks for the offer, I would love that! But, it’s not really in a send-able format. It’s written out on a legal pad and not typed up. Thanks anyway
Yeah, lists really keep me sane too, I’m at that point in my life where I’m starting to forget things too easily

Yeah, and the funny thing for me is that sometimes an electronic list isn’t enough to make me feel better. Spreadsheets are great and all, but sometimes I need the good old pencil and paper thing to really get my thoughts out there properly.
You knit beautifully…is that the right spelling??
Who cares…..MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Sit back and relax…don’t stress.
Thanks, Janie, and yes that’s the correct spelling
Merry Christmas to you, too!
So…how are you liking your instagram substitutes and what you using thus far? I haven’t had a moment to actually read the instagram policies for myself (but I will after Christmas) to decide if I’m leaving or not. Not looking forward to deleting my account.

I am trying to use flickr more. I used to be on there constantly. Their android app doesn’t work on tablets (boo!) but I have a work-around. I have been using Pixl-o-Matic to add fun instagram-like filters, and then emailing them to my flickr email address. It automatically posts to flickr and twitter that way. So far, so good.
That is gorgeous and what a nice way to have some control over the chaos
Should you every have time, it would be crazy popular on Knitty I bet.
I do hope to write up a nice-looking pattern when I have a few moments to breathe
