Swap Troubles

I've discovered something about my knitting.  I don't love socks.

I really really don't love socks.

Seriously, they bore me to death, even when I'm learning something about the process.  I like learning, I just don't love socks.

But I promised to make socks for my swap partner!!!! AAAAGHHHHH!  Okay, so it's a secret swap and she doesn't know I've committed to make socks for her, but still...  I dread the time I spend on them, or procrastinate from them.  I'm going to ask someone to finish them for me, but just in case that doesn't work out, I'm writing up a design for another thing that my spoilee seemed excited about.  If it works, I'll give her the pattern for it as well, in case she wants to recreate it in her own yarn or size.

Here's my notes.  Some of you who are Who fans might recognize what I'm recreating?  Anyway, after about three months, I'll probably put the pattern up on Ravelry.

So, so far my spoilee will get one cuddly project, one sorta useful project, (if my mentor can do it) some very cool socks, some snackies, two major souvenirs, and one poster.  Oh, and a notion or two.  And if I can find it, some pretty awesome yarn.  I suppose this yarn would count as a handmade item too, since I dyed it myself!  This is gonna be one seriously stuffed box.
