[Nfb-krafters-korner] Crafting for Christmas

[Henry Osborne]

Terry, the only fishermans knit pattern that I know of is the one called the 
Irish Fishermans Sweater pattern that has the cables running through it.
Dixie, are Marjorie Arnettes patterns available on Ravelry or do you have 
her Website, and if so, may we have it please?
thanks, and have a good day.

Hi Sandra,

I learned a few years back to set limits on myself.

If I am making a craft for someone for Christmas I have set myself a 
deadline.  If it isn't completed by Thanksgiving then I am not counting on 
it as a gift for the current year.

That has taken the stress off, and put the enjoyment back into making the 
crafts for Christmas gifts.

I am saying this as I am in the middle of making 2 Christmas stockings, 
actually, I am about a third of the way through the first one.  One of the 
girls I had in my Girl Scout troop got married this weekend, and I want to 
make her and her husband each a Christmas stocking.  It is a Fisherman Knit 
stocking that I got the pattern from Marjorie Arnott.

I am making one in Hunter green and the second in a Burgundy red.  Then if 
they have little ones someday, I will make other colors for the children.

Hey, all,

Is anyone aware of an Adult Children of Crafters, or OverCrafters Anonymous 
meeting? On the days I’m up ‘til 4:00 (I remember one Christmas Eve I was 
cramming on a present ‘til 5:00 or so), I ask myself this!!! Depending on 
how you look at it, my Irish/German/Swedish (and Aspergers-related) 
stubbornness is NOT good for me—or, it’s very good in that, the present got 
finished in time and I didn’t have to wrap up a little box with a note 
stating, “I owe you an afghan—finished in two more weeks.” I suppose, then, 
I’m not COMPLETELY addicted—YET!
