Finishing Contest

October 16, 2008 By Carole

As you know, I have a new sweater for Rhinebeck.  I’d also like to have new socks.  And new fingerless mitts.

This is where I am on my Fallen Leaves Socks.

One sock finished and the second sock has about another 1.5 inches before I start the toe decreases.

This is where I am on Genmaicha.

One mitt finished and the second one is halfway through the cuff.

Both photos were taken yesterday at 4pm.

Let’s have a little contest, shall we?  Leave me a comment guessing whether I’ll finish the socks, the mitts, both or neither.  I’ll do a random drawing from all the correct guesses.  The winner will get a little something from Rhinebeck.

Sound like fun?  Get those guesses in by Sunday night at 9 pm Eastern time.

    Oh, definitely both. 🙂 You’re speedy!

    I love the heels on those socks – delightful.

  2. Julie says

    October 16, 2008 at 6:41 am

    A definite yes on the socks. As for the mitts, yes if you’re heading to Rhinebeck on Saturday but maybe not if you’re heading out tomorrow night. I’ll be there just during the day on Saturday, hope to see you!

  3. Julie says

    October 16, 2008 at 7:00 am

    I’m guessing you’ll get both done in plenty of time.

  4. Kirsten says

    October 16, 2008 at 7:00 am

    I have complete confidence in you! You’ll get them both done!
    Have a great time! I wish I could be there.

  5. Paula says

    October 16, 2008 at 7:16 am

    Easy peasy. You’ll get them done. Unfortunately I won’t be there to see them 🙁 so I am glad I got to see you in NH. Have a great time!

  6. Donna says

    October 16, 2008 at 7:28 am

    Both of course, have a wonderful time.

  7. Wool Winder says

    October 16, 2008 at 7:51 am

    I think you’ll finish both.

  8. Chris says

    October 16, 2008 at 8:15 am

    Both, but it’ll be a race to the end. Have fun this weekend!

  9. Kim says

    October 16, 2008 at 8:19 am

    Knowing what a productive knitter you are….both 🙂

  10. Karen says

    October 16, 2008 at 8:20 am

    Easy peasy! You’ll have them both done in plenty of time.

  11. Donna says

    October 16, 2008 at 8:20 am

    You will get them both finished! You are a fast knitter and have no multi-tasking issues.

    See you at Rhinebeck! I am looking forward to it – it is my first time. Ah yes, a Rhinebeck Virgin!

  12. sunflowerfairy says

    October 16, 2008 at 8:21 am

    You’re good. I say both. (And I’ll be checking too!)

  13. Carrie says

    October 16, 2008 at 8:35 am

    I think you’ll finish the socks before you leave and will be tucking in the ends on the mitts as you pull into wherever you park at Rhinebeck!

  14. Kathy says

    October 16, 2008 at 8:36 am

    Both!!

  15. Hillary says

    October 16, 2008 at 8:43 am

    I have faith in you and I’m sure that you’ll finish both. There’s no stopping a determined knitter – especially when the finish line is in sight.

  16. deb says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:05 am

    You’ll finish both – and those mitts are definatlely blue on this computer!! Have a teeeee-rrific time. Hugs and kisses to all!

  17. Brenda says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:14 am

    I think you’ll finish both, with time to spare.

  18. Brenda says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:17 am

    you’ll finish both. you’re a very fast knitter. love the mitts.

  19. Bethe says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:18 am

    I say both will be done, but I think one of them will be down to the wire and will be finished en route.

  20. Linda M. says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:23 am

    I think the socks will be finished before you hit the road, and the mitt will be road knitting. Whether it gets finished before you get there depends on who’s driving!

  21. Crystal says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:24 am

    Both 🙂

  22. Kassia says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:42 am

    You’re such a speedy knitter, based on the frequency of FOs you show here….I’m betting you’ll get both of them done. Maybe one or the other will be finished on the way, but both will be done in time to wear them there!! Have a great time! 😀

  23. dinah says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:50 am

    If you leave work at 4, get throuugh dinner and sit down by 6 the socks can be done by 7. Then moving to the mitten you can knock those off by 10 if CSI isn’t a cliff hanger. Worst case you are doing mitten ribbing in the AM. Long story short. BOTH.

  24. Carol says

    October 16, 2008 at 9:52 am

    Definitely both so you’d better pack something else to knit for the ride there!

  25. RisaJ says

    October 16, 2008 at 10:21 am

    oh, you will finish both of them….most definitely!!!

  26. Heather says

    October 16, 2008 at 10:35 am

    OOh I’ll de-lurk for this one. Without a doubt, you’ll finish both! You’re a whizz on those teensy little needles!

  27. Miriam says

    October 16, 2008 at 10:55 am

    I think you’ll definitely finish both in time. Have fun at Rhinebeck!

  28. Lynne says

    October 16, 2008 at 10:59 am

    Definitely the socks, hopefully the mitts…
    But definitely both by the time you need them at Rhinebeck!1

  29. Lucia says

    October 16, 2008 at 11:09 am

    Definitely both. (You did tell me how fast the mitts go, after all.) See you at Rhinebeck! With chocolate. Cannot. wait.

  30. sprite says

    October 16, 2008 at 11:18 am

    Both, particularly if you don’t have to do the driving to New York.

  31. Sarah says

    October 16, 2008 at 11:41 am

    You’ll finish and enjoy both!

  32. LittleWit says

    October 16, 2008 at 11:42 am

    My money is on you being able to get both done. I am guessing you actually finished that sock last night. 🙂

  33. Sally says

    October 16, 2008 at 11:48 am

    Well, of course you will finish the socks! Pick me, please!!!!

  34. sewstylish says

    October 16, 2008 at 11:50 am

    I think you will finish both. Nothing like some fun pressure to get the knitting done. I too am going to Rhinebeck and can’t wait.

  35. Cheryl S. says

    October 16, 2008 at 11:55 am

    Both!

  36. Kel says

    October 16, 2008 at 12:01 pm

    Socks only, but you’ll finish the mitts while at Rhinebeck!

  37. CaroleP says

    October 16, 2008 at 12:18 pm

    By now the sock is probably finished. How far is it to Rhinebeck? How much will you be driving? You’ll get them both done! I bet you knit faster under pressure!!! Have fun!!!

  38. Cookie says

    October 16, 2008 at 12:37 pm

    Both, of course.

    By now, the sock is done and that leaves plenty of time for you to finish the mitt, wash and block them all and pack for Rhinebeck.

    xo

  39. becky says

    October 16, 2008 at 12:43 pm

    I think you’ll more than likely finish both before you reach Rhinebeck and will have started a lovely scarf on the ride there.

    Have fun! I am so hoping to get to Rhinebeck next year as I’ve never been to that festival.

  40. Lisa says

    October 16, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    Oh, definitely. I know you can finish them – just don’t work on those mystery socks!

  41. Dee says

    October 16, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    No doubt, both.
    Love the sock colors.

  42. Leslie says

    October 16, 2008 at 1:53 pm

    Wow, you’re moving right along. It’ll all get done, I’m sure!

  43. Mackenzie says

    October 16, 2008 at 2:38 pm

    Oh I think you’ll get both done, you crank projects out so fast! BTW, I’m a new commenter on your blog, having only discovered it a week or two ago. You’ve really inspired me to work on my knitting!

  44. crystal says

    October 16, 2008 at 2:54 pm

    Another de-lurker, but long-time reader and fan . . .

    I have the utmost confidence in your ability to finish both, Carole! The number of beautiful projects that you complete always amazes me!

  45. Betty says

    October 16, 2008 at 2:58 pm

    You will definitely finish the socks. You might cut it close on the mitts, but I think you can do it. Are you driving or passengering to Rhinebeck?

  46. Catie says

    October 16, 2008 at 3:17 pm

    I have absolute faith in you. Both is my guess. I’m guessing the socks are already done!!

  47. HB says

    October 16, 2008 at 3:32 pm

    You’ll finish the socks for sure – mitts if you don’t drive to NY.

  48. Kate/Massachusetts says

    October 16, 2008 at 3:34 pm

    You’ll finish both!

  49. Sarah says

    October 16, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    I need one piece of information. Are you driving to Rhinebeck, or passenger-ing?

    In case we need to guess without that key bit of information, I say you’ll finish both, but you’ll be finishing (or at least weaving in ends) in the car on the way! 🙂

  50. Judi says

    October 16, 2008 at 4:52 pm

    both, for sure – there are too many people thinking good “hurry, hurry” thoughts for you not to.
