Socks are waiting

I was going to start socks, but I realized I need to start whatever Christmas presents that are going to be knit now. I"m making my mother a shawl with a cable border. I got the pattern from knitty.com. It is a great site with wonderful free patterns. Then I'm making my one sister a scarf and my father a scarf. My brother in law will probably end up with a scarf too. I might make my best friend a shawl too if I have the time. I'm not sure what to make my other sister and her fiance.

So socks will probably have to wait until after Christmas. Which sucks because I already have the yarn. But I definitely have more than enough projects to keep me perfectly occupied between classes and studying.
