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.

    I guess neither. Just because I like to go against the grain like that. See you tomorrow!

    I think it depends on who is driving to Rhinebeck…if you’re riding, they’ll be done. ;o) I think the socks will definitely be done in any case. See you Saturday! (YAY!)

  3. jill says

    October 16, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    BOTH! You’re motivated! (and motivating!)

  4. heather says

    October 16, 2008 at 7:35 pm

    mmmm…..i think the socks first and then the mitts.

  5. Beverly says

    October 17, 2008 at 12:21 am

    I’ll guess both, cause yous look silly with only 1 sock and 1 glove on 🙂

  6. Wanda says

    October 17, 2008 at 1:49 am

    Since this picture was taken yesterday. I’m pretty sure that you will be finished with the socks first and then you’ll get that second mitt finished too!

  7. Li_B says

    October 17, 2008 at 2:52 am

    Both. Have fun!

  8. PICAdrienne says

    October 17, 2008 at 5:36 am

    I believe you will finish both prior to Rhinebeck.

    Have Fun!

  9. mrspao says

    October 17, 2008 at 6:59 am

  11. grace says

    October 17, 2008 at 10:45 am

  12. Jessica says

    October 17, 2008 at 10:46 am

  13. Sally says

    October 17, 2008 at 11:55 am

    You will finish them both — have a fun weekend!

  14. Kris says

    October 17, 2008 at 12:00 pm

  15. kristi and otis says

    October 17, 2008 at 12:29 pm

  16. Kate says

    October 17, 2008 at 12:39 pm

  17. turtle says

    October 17, 2008 at 12:53 pm

  18. blogless sharon says

    October 17, 2008 at 1:25 pm

    well since im not there to distract you you will finish the socks today and the mitts tomorrow and be wearing both by sat afternoon

  19. Bullwinkle says

    October 17, 2008 at 2:08 pm

    I’m guessing that you’ll finish both. If you’re not driving, perhaps the question should be “what will I cast on next for car knitting?”

    Enjoy Rhinebeck!!

  20. Cheryl says

    October 17, 2008 at 4:45 pm

    Definitely you will finish both! I have utmost faith in you.

  21. Leah says

    October 17, 2008 at 10:07 pm

    Absolutely the sock. The mitt? Hmmm, I’ll say yes! So, yet to both!

  22. La Verna says

    October 17, 2008 at 10:56 pm

    I’m gonna say the mitts for sure.I hope the mitts anyway.I am vicariously knitting them through you. 🙂 Have fun at Rhinebeck!

  23. Nicole (ikkinlala) says

    October 18, 2008 at 12:58 am

    I’m guessing you’ll finish only the socks, not because I don’t think you could finish both but because everyone seems to be guessing you will.

  24. Ruth says

    October 18, 2008 at 7:09 am

    pfffffffft. It’s a three hour car ride. Of course you’ll finish.

  25. Manise says

    October 18, 2008 at 8:44 am

    I am guessing that you are not driving, so of course you’ll finish both!! Hoping that you’re having a super time!

  26. travelita says

    October 18, 2008 at 5:43 pm

    Both! Nice leaf peeks.

  27. Natalie says

    October 18, 2008 at 6:15 pm

    Oh, of course! That’s not really that much knitting, especially if you work with a deadline! 🙂

  28. Maureen J says

    October 18, 2008 at 8:34 pm

    Definitely finish both.

  29. Marsha says

    October 18, 2008 at 9:30 pm

    You can do it! I just know you’ll finish both of them!

  30. Kat says

    October 18, 2008 at 9:34 pm

    Hmmm are you driving or riding? Have you packed?

    My guess – socks are done, mitts are close but you finished everything by the time you arrived at Rhinebeck today. (Well, maybe there was an end tucked in rather than sewn in.)

  31. Teyani says

    October 19, 2008 at 12:36 am

    the way you knit?? both were done before you fell asleep friday night 🙂
    I hope that you and the peeps had a marvelous time!!!!

  32. Veronica says

    October 19, 2008 at 12:44 pm

    I think you’ll finish both. Have a great time and stay warm!

  33. Kelli says

    October 19, 2008 at 5:36 pm

    You can definitely finish them both!!

Okay, maybe the cheese from @thelostkitchen, too, because it’s perfectly stinky and utterly delicious.
