How I did it: Bought bigger needles and sat in the evenings, click, click, click, with lovely yarns from John Lewis and Parvi, matching colours and designs to the taste of the people I was making them for Read how I did it…
Stormygirl getting stuff done!

How I did it: Well I started it about two years ago, would work on it a little then put it down and forget about it for a few months (summer, school etc). So I started working on it while watching tv which is only a few hours a week and actually got a lot done. I have a new pattern for a new scarf and a blanket which I hope to start this weekend.

freeme27 needs to set realistic goals!
How I did it: I used very chunky needles and thick wool. and lots of help from knitting books and youtube!I mostly did it whilst watching TV or just in tiny slots of time where I had nothing else to do. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had been working on it off-and-on last semester, and at the end of the semester I took it home intending to finish it over winter break. With that in mind, my precious scarf sat on the floor for several weeks. With only about a week and a half left until the start of the spring semester, I decided I had better get something done. I set a goal for myself to complete at least 20 rows per day, and I usually knit more. I finished early! Woohoo! Read how I did it…

She liked her scarf lol. Have started no.3, which was no.1. It is behaving this time with the bigger needles.
Is finished. I am picking her up from school in a couple of days, I plan to meet her at the gate, and without a word pull it out of my bag and place it round her neck. If she decides she doesn’t like it, I may decide to strangle her with it for holding up this goal lol :)
One scarf to go. I hope it works out this time, I am getting sick of pulling it apart.

.....knitting three more scarves in the last week – gigantic needles and using between 2 and 4 strands of yarn at a time both help. My Christmas present list is filling up nicely – I do enjoy making presents.

I’m knitting some nine scarves or more as Christmas presents for members of my family. It might seem early to start – actually, I started in January – but that’s quite a bit of knitting and I’m enjoying making things for people I love and being able to feel relaxed and happy while I’m doing it
finished no. two, so two to go. Unless I can get my niece to forget I said I’d make her one?
Well, I’ve solved part of the problem of the scarf plural. I totally got the shits on with no.1 when every row I’ve done since pulling it apart has had a different stitch count. So to teach it a lesson I pulled it apart. It is now a ball of wool that can wait till my bigger needles are free. On the plus side, no.2 is going great guns – just over half way!
Now my niece wants me to knit her a scarf…and I put in some work on No.1 this am, only to find that my knot joining the ball I started recently had come undone and I had a huge hole…all this morning’s work and more had to be unravelled…but No.2 coming along ok. I will start niece’s scarf when No.2 finished – easier and quicker with the bigger needles. I could start it now on even bigger needles, but no thanks. I could also just give her No.1 when finished but not bloody likely :)Should rename this goal finish knitting my scarfs plural lol.
