It is definitely that time of year again. I have several projects on the needles, from Christmas presents, to a pair of mittens waiting in the wings, to the Nordic Lights wrap, and yesterday I just started our Christmas stockings. Seems like a lot is on the plate again. Doing a little knitting holiday multi-tasking, how about all of you?
Recently I used my Elann.com gift certificate to pick up some Denise needles. Anyone else think those sets are great? I will continue to use my bamboos for simple projects, but these Denise needles are already coming in handy on the Nordic Lights wrap. It is great to work in the round and when a needle change happens, you just have to click off one size to the next! For anyone who does much work in the round, I would say these are a staple! Thanks again Emily!
The Christmas stockings I am making are from my Knitting Pattern-A-Day calendar. The pattern is by Catherine Boucher, and you can see it on her website. I am working on Baroo, which is an Irish Holiday Stocking.
As for prioritizing what I am knitting, so far I am not having much luck. I need to keep pushing away on the holiday knits, but I am enjoying the colors of Nordic Lights so much I keep picking it up. Anyone else struggling with prioritizing? I think I will try and crank out the Christmas stockings and then continue on my holiday gifts. There is just so much I am looking forward to knitting!

I am having a tough time prioritizing myself. It seems that this fall I haven't been able to complete anything on time and haven't made much progess. I am hoping that now that winter is approaching things will slow down and I will bunker down at home and have more time to knit.
My problem is everything I knit for the holidays I say 'oh! this is going to be for my Mom!' well, my Mom has enough knitted gifts to space out over the next several years.
However, I did make a pair of voodoo wrist warmers for my little brother. They were quick and fun to make. I think I'll be making several more pairs of them.
I'm eager to see your handiwork on Nordic Lights. You're a fab knitter!
I've heard so many good things about Denise needles from Tamara and other knitters. They seem very clever and useful.
