WIP Wednesday: Lots of socks and The Holden Shawl

At the time of writing this (Tuesday – look at me being organised for once!) the Holden Shawl is still a WIP, although I’m desperately hoping that it’s actually a FO by Wednesday so that I can finally give it to its intended recipient!

Also in WIP status are the Filey socks:

the Mystery socks (not a mystery any more, I peeked at some of the finished ones!)

and the double knitted hat (still!)

Those Christmas deadlines seems to have come and gone. I think the poor boyfriend is destined never to get his knitted Christmas gifts on time. The poor thing always gets shunted down the list when it come to the panic knitting of getting the gifts for others finished on time. My mission for this year is to start my Christmas knitting earlier than I think I need to to try and buck this trend!

The Mystery socks and the hat are actually a little further along than in these photos, I just haven’t taken any updated ones. I’m trying to exercise some restraint and not cast on for anything new until I have at least 2 of these projects off the needles. Some of these projects have been on the needles since November, and that is far too long, especially considering that none of them are large projects!
