Four days until Christmas
And I’m in a tizzy-
All this last minute knitting
Is making me dizzy!
Everyone in my house
Is having a fit-
There’s nothing to eat
'Cause I’ve too much to knit.
For the baby shower yesterday
A bumblebee set,
Today I’ll work on the
S&B vest.
Then there’s the scarf
To match the new jacket,
And the sweater for Mom
(I’m up to the placket).
I have to finish
The poncho for Sis,
Then on to her sweater-
It’s next on the list.
The Bob the Builder sweater
May have to wait-
Logan won’t notice
If his present’s late.
I already missed
His birthday deadline.
Who’s going to notice
If it’s not on time?
But the socks for my hubby
Were supposed to be
A gift for our 20th
Anniversary.
I’d like to squeeze in
More hat sets and mitts,
And a couple more purses
Before the Yule log is lit.
I really would like
To just go to bed-
Let visions of Koigu
Dance in my head...
But- ACK! I forgot about
Last Christmas’s sweater!
Next year I promise
That I’ll do better.
So off the computer,
I need to find wool
And needles and notions-
My knitting bag’s full!
I’d just like to say
Before I’m shipped to "the Farm" (do they have sheep there?)
Merry Christmas to all,
And to all a good yarn.
wow you have been busy,sister!
