I did knit a few things for Christmas 2010, mostly using stash yarn. My mother does not wear anything wool and I've always known there is not much I could knit for her, unless she specifically asked for it. If I'm going to knit for someone I want to be mostly sure they will like it and get some use out of it.

I haven't completed a single thing since Christmas, despite having many projects on the needles. I just don't feel like knitting I guess. I try to get some done though. I am almost finished a sock, but then I will have to knit the second sock too.
