I Have A Plan

This weekend marks the start of my favorite time of year.  I love autumn.  The leaves, the jeans and sweaters, the way the air smells.  The pumpkin pies and apple crumbs and knowing I won't be donning a bathing suit anytime soon and can fully enjoy those desserts.

This is also when I start to slowly become a one-woman Christmas Present Sweat Shop.  Too many people to knit for, and not enough time to do it.  I suppose that's a wonderful way to be burdened, though.  To have too many people in my life deserving of woollies. 

This year I have a plan... 


...and that plan is washcloths.  They are small, fly off the needles, and can be made with virtually any stitch pattern.  


I used Sugar 'n Cream.  It's cheap, 100% USA grown cotton, and machine washable and dryable.


They'll be boxed with candles and soaps.  And if I'm able to, I'll do some detective work and coordinate them to each bathroom.

For now, I'm riding my delusional high horse thinking I have a good, strong hold on Christmas this year.  You'd think I'd know better.
