A Knitter's Holiday Dilemma... (in rhyme, of course)

Twelve days before Christmas,
        and things were a mess.
There were projects unknitted,
        the knitter was vexed.

With only two hands ,
        plus a list, oh so, long,
            How can I get finished?
        where did I go wrong?

In choosing my gifting,
        was it overambitious,
            To think it’d be easy,
        to grant everyone’s wishes.

So how to get started?
                    how to prioritize?
            How to still look amazing,
        in everyone’s eyes.

So the list has been written
                   the yarn’s all been bought
            The time has been scheduled,
                   to ease my distraught.

Yet, here I sit...
       and think, "where will I fail?"
I’ll know after coffee
      and reading email…
