The Math Is Not Working For Me

Yeah. I'd like to have the Winter Is Coming Scarf completed for Christmas, but basically, I'm going to have to shelf it for now. I've just been doing the math on my Christmas knitting and I can't possibly complete it in time.

You would think, because it's double knitting, that it would be just like knitting two scarves, right? Wrong. It's so slow, and my progress is so little, that--even if I double the amount of time I spend knitting on it now--I won't even get halfway done before Christmas. And, if I do that, I won't finish several other gifts either.

So, I'm going to finish the several other gifts, and the baking and candy and shopping and wrapping. Plus, the laundry has to be done at some point. So the scarf will just be done after Christmas. T won't mind. He will enjoy the hat I'm knitting more, anyway.

That makes me a little sad, though.
