Christmas Knitting ..... in July!

Book: Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
(Sorry the word of the day was starting to bother me.)
Feeling: annoyed by the word of the day and double pointed needles

So I am a knitting freak among other freaky hobbies I have ( like smelling taxidermy and licking stamps. Not really.) And I knit really slowly. I was making my sister a hat last Christmas and I didn't finish it in time so it was going to be for her Birthday and I didn't have it done by then, so now it is for this Christmas along with a matching scarf. So I have learned that I have to start Christmas presents really early. So, I want to make my Dad a pair of socks, seems easy enough, right? Wrong. I have to use double pointed needles which are really hard to use. I am just really bad at it so, I think everyone will just get scarves. Yup nice long, really long and... I don't have a long enough attention span to make a scarf. This is going to be a lot harder than I thought. Well then, I would like to update my summer reading log:
