Amigurumi make for quick cute presents indeed

The first mommy duck needs to be stuffed & sewn together. The first baby duck just needs its head and then it's ready for stuffing & sewing. That'll be 2 down and 3 more to go! ;) I could have this finished by the end of the week! Or maybe not. I need to leave work earlier today so I can pick up my KnitPicks package. That means I can start knitting more things!

A few items from my Ravelry queue and Christmas gift list that I want to start on:

• the Peripatetic Knitter's Bag
• the Juno Regina Stole from Knitty
• a sweater that cats love
  
• a large, fancy, complicated lace stole/shawl like this, this, this, this, or this.
• socks
• a Zelda-inspired triforce scarf (for my cousin)
• slippers (for my grandpa)
• gray bunny slippers (for my cousin-in-law)

BTW, yesterday night I stopped by Vons on my way home and picked up several packets of Kool-Aid in cherry, strawberry, grape, lemonade, mango, lemon-lime, orange, and I think pina-pineapple. Unfortunately, there were no blue flavors. :(
