Secret Christmas knitting

Whew! Finally I can talk about knitting again! Since I had so many secret projects going, I was unable to even mention what I was working on...like this Misti Alpaca scarf for Kate.
And then there were Kate's "I want another pair" socks.
And Ellen's challenging Fibonacci Striped socks. Loved the yarn but striping caused me some headaches.
I found a way to prevent Second Sock Syndrome: make socks for three people and do one sock for each first before finishing any pair! Now it's time to bite the bullet and finish the pairs for Kate and El, as well as Gail's Obama Victory Socks. At least each project feels almost brand new after the time lapse!

Second sock syndrome?

Second Sock Syndrome: a serious malady whereby only the first sock of the pair holds any interest for the knitter. The Second Sock is traditionally No Fun.
