Finish-itis

Along with a "no-good, dirty rotten, miserable" cold, I also find myself with a case of finish-itis. The other day I sorted out my knitting and was surprised to find a few...ahem...unfinished items. These items include:
-matching generic sock (second sock syndrome) to make for daughter with cold feet
-second sleeve (syndrome) for the Cobblestone pullover. I can't believe how far I've come on this project, only to screech to a halt now...(I think I can....I think I can...I think I can...)
-the top half of this gorgeous hat (may I call this a toque?), Jared Flood's Koolhaas featured in

Holiday Knits 2007 from Interweave. It's a beautiful pattern but don't knit it at night, in a van, on the 401 as you need to see the pattern evolve (not to mention fix your mistakes right away). As a result, this is take 2 for me!
-magnum opus (perhaps one day), the Peacock Feathers Shawl from Fiddlesticks Knitting. I think I bit off more than I can chew on this one!
-seaming and buttons for my Baby Surpise Jacket (at least this one is knitted up)
...and, just to make matters worse (or better, depending on how you look at it), this has arrived from Webs

...my wool for the Tilted Duster! This project must wait, however, as I have joined a Tilted Duster KAL on Ravelry which doesn't begin until January 1st.

Just think, if I get all these finished (with the exception of the magnum opus), I will be way ahead on my Christmas knitting!
