Holiday knitting, anyone?

[pinesandmaples]

My holiday knitting has tipped into "I can probably finish this without any all-night knitting parties" land, and my wife passed her halfway point a few days ago. Yay!

I'm making seven Fish Hats from various colors of Cascade 220 Superwash for my in-laws. Here's my countdown bar, so you can count to fish with me:

rooibos, on the other hand, is making five personalized colorwork Christmas stockings with the same Cascade 220 Superwash. You can peep at her first one in an unblocked state over here on Flickr. Since that picture, she's finished a red one and is halfway through a blue one.

What are you knitting for the holidays this year? Have you started? Will you finish in time?

I suspect the scarf for Mom will be a birthday present. It's not the first time that Christmas has been hastily purchased in order to give me four more weeks. I think she's gotten used to it by now. On the other hand, when I do finish it, it'll be spectacular.

I don't knit for the hubby's family (philosophical differences about the relative value of homemade v storebought goods) and I got a little enthusiastic last year with knitting for those of our clan who do value handmade gifts, so I suspect my knitting for the holiday is pretty much done with mom. I spent most of this year knitting for the new baby in the group.
