I'd like to have done a more finished version of this, but–well, read the caption and draw your own conclusions.

LOVE IT...although I do no holiday knitting...
That one in the crowd with long hair? That's me.
i would laugh, but there's no time.
LOVE IT!! I am the one holding the needles up!! Happy Christmas time!!!
This may be exactly how I feel right now!
YES! Not for knitting...though that's in there...but Christmas is rolling downhill toward me like a truck with its brakes gone....
Methinks the ratio of Time to FOs is drastically out of balance, correct?
a true and genuine LOL!
Happy Holidays, friend
Amen!
One solution is to become Ukrainian. Can't be that hard to do, right?
My Christmas knitting will be finished for Christmas - Christmas 2012 the way it's going!
Hope you have a good one.
So true, so true!
I hope you'll at least have time to get that project (*cough*, don't want to say what it is in case some one might be reading this....) done that you were working on at the Madison Knitter's Guild! Thank you so much for coming to speak. It was an excellent and interesting topic. People were still talking about how great it was at my Wednesday night knit group!

YES! However, the procrastinators (such as myself) will ALWAYS need more time to finish projects. ;)
Oh, please, yes. And I'm not even doing Christmas knitting. Need to postpone _everything_ - living on a hill where plowing isn't done for a week even normally.
This is so true!
Too funny!!!
Hillarious!
Gold.
Love it! Exactly how I feel! But wait, what am I doing on here.....I'm supposed to be knitting!!!
:Snort:
Brilliant. And hilarious. Thank you!
EXACTLY!!! Who pushed the dates up so fast!?
Very funny. Thanks!
Amen!
How timely! Today I gave my cousin her Christmas scarf - still on the needles.
:-D
For your information, I finished the last gift today. It's ready to block. ;-p (I LOVE that cartoon.)
I know! I have most of a sleeve, a large wrappy over collar type thing and sewing up to do in 8 days, before my son arrives to claim his christmas jumper!
How about celebrating Orthodox Christmas or Epiphany? That would give you an extra two weeks.
Love the cartoon.
I need to give this to my pastor tomorrow.
Just convert to Eastern Orthodoxy pronto. That'll buy you until January 7.
I snicker although the only reason I am reading this right now is because I had to take a break from knitting because my shoulder hurts!
What was I thinking that I could get all this done?
If I could just get one more week, I would be thrilled!
Perfect.
Would write more but typing eats into valuable knitting time...
so fitting! And I'm only knitting the last pair of Christmas socks! Even so, I may be giving them still on the needles and will finish them later.
Bless you, Buddhist buddy, for making my Christmas a little easier to swallow.
So glad to see you back a bit more often. Happy Christmas to you and the crew too.
OMG - Yes!
Case in point - I cast on a BIG poncho very late last night, and it's a Christmas gift, of course.
Excellent plan. So when will you be submitting this to the Pope? How soon can we have an answer?
Merry Christmas.
"burst out laughing"...slightly hysterically
Loved the cartoon. I showed it to my DH, aka The Patron of the Arts, and he laughed and said "It wouldn't help - you'd just try to get six more weeks of knitting done!"
Merry Christmas to you!
Excellent and much needed... please make it so! Merry Christmas
My family has always celebrated Christmas in a leisurely way - as long as it's done by Epiphany I'm okay.
If you can't get things done by Christmas, aim for Twelfth Night. If you still can't get everything finished, there's always Chinese New Year. . . Gung hay fat choy!

You sure "hit the nail on the head" This describes me exactly. Still socks and fingerless gloves to knit while the stuff I felted this morning dries. Just love it!!!!!
Brilliant!
Thanks for the giggle!
If you can get his Holiness to do this, I am promoting you as the patron saint of knitting. I may even become Catholic!
Genius.
Hahaha!!
Will he do it?
From your sketchbook to the Pope's ear!! What do I need to sign to make this happen??
LOL - that's hilarious; and OH SO TRUE!
Too true - thanks for the laugh!
Love it. Long-suffering SO and I both laughed out loud. Need it on notecards-- although January is soon enough, if you're a tad busy right now...
"... draw your own conclusions. "
Now that's the statement that tipped my tumbler!! Thank you all over the place. And joyous celebrations to you. Paula in Iowa
This has got to be the funniest Christmas cartoon ever. That's the Dalai Lama up there, right?
I second the vote for a Saint Franklin...because anyone who can make me laugh at this point in the calendar is a miracle worker... Merry Christmas, dear Mr Habit, you are a gem!
x
Oh, that's rich, Franklin, thank you!
(((hugs)))
No knitting this year, but the sewing machine is complaining. Go faster, go faster...
You'd think I would know better. Now how the **** do I get all this coffee out of my keyboard??!!??
This makes me glad that I've only done one holiday gift item, and it was finished in April. Whew! It's like dodging a bullet. A very large wooly bullet.
That's great! I love it!
Nice to know I'm not alone but just six weeks?
Hahahahaha! You made my day!
May I please have your permission to print a few copies of your AWESOME cartoon to accompany my letters of contrition regarding unfinished handknit holiday gifts for my family...
Oh, I just now saw the greeting card comment - I absolutely second this!
I will need them again next year if you get to them in between...
Thank you!!!
I am being won over to the side of those who believe that Christ was actually born in March rather than December. (Hey, I saw it on Bones. It must be true.)
What does it say that I'm knitting frantically as I read this?
Hilarious! My mother is getting one sock this year under the tree... second sock to be given in January!
The long hair is me also. I have three inches to go on one sleeve for my other's Christmas present. Beaded lace pullover in Koigu. I can do that tomorrow with luck, then tuck in ends and wash/block on Wednesday. Who is the patron saint of knitters?
I'm right there with you and the crowd, using every spare moment to work on the Stealth Vest for my DH. Why couldn't he have been out of town THIS week so I can finish this up!!! I DO want to surprise him...
So true! And every year in July I think to myself, "I should start my Christmas knitting..." but do I? No...of course not!
I just got my copy of Verona Knitting and saw the back cover. Brilliant. You are my hero.
Amen.
Dez--I've heard the patron saint of knitters is St. Fiacre, but this time of year, I believe that falls to Jude. :)
Thank you for the laugh.
Happy Holidays to you!
A most necessary laugh - thanks, and the happiest of holidays.
There is no measure for your marvelousness. Right?
Has David Sedaris' agent discovered you yet? And if not, why not?
Can we, huh, can we? It's 12/23 and I have 1/2 an afghan to crochet and almost all of a lapghan to sew! Fortunately, the knitting's done.
Absolutely brilliant...but it anyone in that delegation is anything like me, we'll all STILL be knitting frantically on the new holiday eve, because we saw even MORE pretty and practical things to knit!
Thank you for your brilliant grasp of desperation!
Off-topic: With Stephanie Pearl-McPhee on "Family Leave," we hope you can help fill the blog-o-sphere void.
Wishing you peace, love and good health in the New Year,
Michelle
oh. so. true.
merriest of merries!
I hope you got it all done, Franklin!!!
I never do any up to date knitting because it is a non written rule I never finish it at time. I wish you the very best 2010... stil love you...
LoL LOve it!
You are so awesome.
Very funny! I finished one of the two items I was knitting for Christmas. And the stocking cap ended up being too large for the recipient. Um, I didn't take the time to swatch...I just knew it would fit...
Franklin - what about a Nobel Prize for knitting??
First, thought you'd like this story about ex-cons being taught knitting and crochet in Edinburgh: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8424518.stm
Second, this cartoon was definitely me: I stayed up past midnight sewing up a cardigan, only to be up super-early to pay the Post Office vast sums to get it the other end of the country on next day delivery. I then blu-tacked a lace chart to my Dad's dashboard so I could knit Mum's Christmas present as we drove home for the holidays. LOL.
aloha out there, did santa claus take you back to the north pole is his big sack?
Franklin, are you having the blue miseries again? You've disappeared. I'm trying to beam cheerful energy rays in your general direction....
Thank you admin
