I was hoping to have two FOs, but I have only one.

"The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of
heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man." Acts 17:24

My FO is truly pathetic this month (actually, it was last month too):
Nothing.

That's it- haven't finished a single thing. I've done some sewing on my
infuriating machine (if it wasn't so heavy I'd have thrown it out of the
nearest window by now!) and am still working on the new baby's basket. Have
sorted out the attic though and am getting things ready for the birth and
baby clothes washed and aired and doing an inventory of all the equipment (I
forgot that there would be so much of it!) which has involved sorting out
entire rooms to get rid of junk and pack away the not-needed things to make
room for the newborn stuff. Unfortunately I haven't FO'd any of this either
and my house is a chaotic nightmare! The toddler has started to boycott her
daytime nap so I don't get a chance to get stuck into the clearing-out until
after she is in bed and then I'm totally knackered. Sigh. Right now I miss
my Mum! (Superwoman- she can clean a fridge whilst cooking dinner, hanging
wallpaper and working through a stack of ironing all at the same time - at
least it seems like it!) Only 3 weeks to go too and nothing is ready! Thank
goodness babies in our family *never* come early!

Sorry to moan- the amount of stuff left to do on my 'to do' list is a little
overwhelming!

And the Christmas jumpers are pretty much untouched this month.

FOs:
Six scarves (all started in October!)
Two pairs of socks (toe decrease + sewing in ends)
Two pairs of gloves (sewing in ends)
Two 6x6 exchange squares

WIPs:
Oh dear, not enough fingers and toes again!

Well here goes my feeble efforts....

FO's for October:
Caught up on all the RCTY posts
Learnt DAK7 Interactive Knitting (without the Pattern Shaping upgrade)

WIP:
6 x 6 squares (hand knitting makes my hand ache - now I remember that's
why
I switched to Machine Knitting!!!)
Fairisle "fitted" top for myself (on the Silver 580 - using 2/30 Acrylic
and
manually mixing lurex with it). I have so far made the back and front.

I'm having trouble weaning myself off the computer!!!

Well I can sympathise with you there))

Well done on the stuff you have going

WIP:

Yet to be started:
Mobeius for DMIL
2 DNA Helix scarves one for DF one for DFIL (math teacher)

Geez, after a list like that, what am I still doing at the computer?
