I did it!  6 weeks later, I have finished knitting all of my Christmas presents.  Well, ok…I do have to weave in a few ends, but the Christmas knitting is done.  Tonight I finished my sister’s blanket–the Six Hour Afghan.  Next week I will ship it off to Florida along with my mom’s blanket.

Lesson learned:

If you are going to knit Christmas presents for your family, start knitting in July.
