\"RH-boyfriendjeans\"This year Emily and I are in the same time zone and near the same ocean for December! We are knitting up a storm together and we thought we would share our plans and progress with you.<\/h2>\n

You can watch us knit through our ‘Mega Lists’ on Instagram<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> ( #knityourlist ) but we will also have a re-cap on the blog.\u00a0 Each day we will post our progress so you can see how speedy (or not)<\/em> we are!\u00a0 We have an unreasonable number of knitting projects planned for the next 12 days… we have shared the delicious yarn and fun projects below.<\/p>\n

If you are in Victoria, drop by the Beehive tomorrow and say Hi.\u00a0 We will be knitting and signing books from 11-3, this Saturday December 13th.

Emily’s Mega List :::
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Emily has a LOT of knitting to do in a few short weeks.\u00a0 Luckily she is on ‘I’m the boss’ vacation. This is the kind of vacation one gets when ones owns her own business.\u00a0 When you’re self-employed you can take a vacation any time, but you usually take work with you. But it’s hard to complain when that work is an epic pile of knitting!<\/p>\n

Project 1:<\/strong>\u00a0 A Christmas sweater for 5-month-old Max.\u00a0 I had great intentions of knitting not only 3 sweaters for my kiddies this year but a matching one for wee Max as well.\u00a0 I failed.\u00a0 So Emily is taking up the torch and making Max his first Christmas sweater.<\/p>\n

\"Campfire<\/p>\n

Yarn:<\/em> SweetGeorgia Superwash DK<\/a> in ‘charcoal’, ‘slate’, and ‘silver’
\nPattern:<\/em> Campfire<\/a> by Tin Can Knits<\/p>\n

Project 2:<\/strong>\u00a0 Booties for Max.\u00a0 For Max’s very first visit to Canada, Emily plans whip up a pair of adorable Cowichan-inspired booties to keep his little tootsies nice and toasty!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yarn:<\/em> Rainbow Heirloom Sweater<\/a> in ‘apparition’ and a contrast colour to be decided
\nPattern:<\/em> Dogwood Slippers<\/a> by Tin Can Knits<\/p>\n

Project 3:<\/strong> A classic toque for John. Emily’s man needs a toasty hat for his first Canadian holiday.<\/p>\n

\"Stovetop<\/a><\/p>\n

Yarn:<\/em> Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage<\/a> in ‘rainwater’
\nPattern:<\/em> Stovetop<\/a> by Tin Can Knits<\/p>\n

Project 4:<\/strong>\u00a0 Cozy socks for Em’s Dad, Gary.\u00a0 Our Lumberjack socks were inspired by Emily’s memories of her Dad returning home in his truck from a hard days work, taking off his boots and sporting some woolly workman socks.<\/p>\n

\"Lumberjack<\/a><\/p>\n

Y<\/em>arn:<\/em> Rainbow Heirloom Sweater<\/a> in ‘apparition’ and ‘koala haircut’
\nPattern:<\/em> Lumberjack<\/a> by Tin Can Knits<\/p>\n

Project 5:<\/strong>\u00a0 A baby sweater for Em’s sister in law.\u00a0 Joy is expecting her first baby this spring so Em is making a bright and fun sweater to bring baby home in.<\/p>\n

\"Flax<\/p>\n

Yarn: <\/em>Some conbination of Rainbow Heirloom Sweater<\/a> in ‘apparition’ and ‘koala haircut’ and Madelinetosh Tosh DK <\/a>in ‘tomato’
\nPattern:<\/em> Flax<\/a> by Tin Can Knits (*free*)<\/p>\n

Project 7:<\/strong>\u00a0 Antler Mittens for Emily’s sister, Heidi.\u00a0 These cozy and quick-knitting mittens are an excellent gift for a fashionable gal.<\/p>\n

\"Antler<\/a><\/p>\n

Yarn:<\/em> Madelinetosh Tosh Chunky<\/a> in ‘candlewick’
\nPattern: <\/em>Antler Mittens<\/a> (child sizes coming soon…!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Alexa’s Mega List :::
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This year, having finished Christmas sweaters for my three little ones (more on those later)<\/em> I plan to whip up 5 gift knits in 12 days. That is not too tall of an order for a professional knitter right? It’s gonna be a close one!<\/p>\n

Project 1:<\/strong> Gift for one of Hunter’s preschool teachers.\u00a0 Hunter LOVES her preschool teachers. She never stops talking about them and I have seen those ladies in action, they work hard!\u00a0 So for them I knit.\u00a0 First up are some boot toppers, stay tuned for the new pattern!<\/p>\n

\"Evergrey\"<\/p>\n

Yarn: <\/em>Sweet Fiber Merino Twist Worsted<\/a> in ‘Evergrey’
\nPattern: <\/em>New! Coming soon!
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Project 2:<\/strong> Hunter’s other preschool teacher is expecting her first baby in March so a wee sweater is in order.<\/p>\n

\"Prairie<\/a><\/p>\n

Yarn: <\/em>Tanis Fiber Arts Green Label Aran<\/a> in ‘grapefruit’
\nPattern: <\/em>Prairie Fire<\/a> by Tin Can Knits
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Project 3:<\/strong> A slouchy toque for a teenage cousin.\u00a0 It’s rare when a teenager requests a knit, not to mention 2!\u00a0 So I am fulfilling a request for slouchy toques.<\/p>\n

\"Greystone<\/a><\/p>\n

Yarn:<\/em> Sweet Fiber Merino Twist Worsted<\/a> in ‘Winter’
\nPattern:<\/em> Greystone<\/a> by Melissa Thomson<\/p>\n

Project 4:<\/strong> Another slouchy toque for my other teenage cousin, also by request.<\/p>\n

\"Tall<\/a><\/p>\n

Yarn:<\/em> Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage<\/a> in ‘Graphite’
\nPattern:<\/em> Tall Dark and Handsome<\/a> by TCK<\/p>\n

Project 5:<\/strong>\u00a0 Baby Bodhi booties. I’ve noticed Bodhi has had cold toes these last few days so she needs some hand-knit socks to keep her warm!\u00a0 I dug up some pretty lovely left overs from our Malt<\/a> blanket sample for these.<\/p>\n

\"Rye<\/a><\/p>\n

Yarn:<\/em> Sweet Fiber Cashmerino Worsted<\/a> in ‘Tea Leaves’
\nPattern:<\/em> Rye<\/a> by Tin Can Knits (*free!*)<\/p>\n

\n

Cheers to casting on way too many knits!<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Is this a totally unreasonable amount of knits to finish in 12 days… Yes, yes it is.<\/strong>\u00a0 But that’s how we roll.\u00a0 Do you have a crazy list of holiday knits?\u00a0 Is everything off the needles and under the tree… or are you cramming a lot into the next few days?\u00a0 We’d love to hear about it – join us on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>, and see how far we get through this delicious list of projects!<\/p>\n

Join in: you can post your list, and tag your posts with #knityourlist<\/p>\n
