Knitting Requests

Usually I really don't like it if people ask me to knit for them. Sometimes they start by asking me how long something takes to knit. I usually say 6-8 weeks for a sweater in my size.
Well one of my sister-in-laws has asked me a few times, the first time about a year ago, to knit a tank top for her daughter. My niece Zahra is now 15months old. One of my reasons for not knitting this: My sister-in-law wants her to wear the tank top underneath her clothes, to keep her body warm. Why should I knit something that can't be seen? My little niece is tiny. She is 15 month old but the size of a 9month old baby. It is funny seeing such a tiny person running around and talking.
I have given in, I have about three balls of Baby Cashmerino left over. This is going to be the third baby garment being knitted from a bag of 10 balls. I have started to knit it in the round, that way it makes a good on-the-go project. The size i have choosen is 9-12month but I will make it longer. I am sure she will grow taller but maybe not much wider.
What about my Christmas Knitting? Yes, I am still doing that, the only thing that has been put on the side lines is my Debbie Bliss Astrakhan coat. It has been abandoned on the bottom of my knitting stuff. Somehow all these projects are starting to take over the living room.
Yesterday morning we went to the cinema to watch Narnia. Having grown up in Switzerland I am not familiar with this story at all. My husband and his sister have.
It is a beautyful movie, but I found it to long. OK I did managa to knit quite a bit but still it's to long. Most kids were getting bored and started to shuffle around either in their seats or walking around.
This buttonhole bag is going to be big. I wonder if it is still practical. The yarn itself weighs a lot, how much is it going to weigh when the bag is filled with things? So far I have knitted up 400 gr of yarn. I am using the Aran yarn double. This is serious stash busting. Sometimes when I can't sleep, I think about my ever growing stash and all the things I could knit. But life gets in the way, laundry, cleaning, cooking etc take up valuable time that could have been spent knitting. No, no it's not that bad. I enjoy knitting in the evenings and I don't feel stressed about it.
Last night I made good progress on this:
The wavy scarf, I am still on the two balls of yarn that I started off with. As I am knitting along I am wondering what I should do with the left over yarn. The scarf will only take a little bit of each of the second balls. I only had two balls of each yarn.
I really like the effect of this scarf. During knitting I do spent a lot of time shuffling the balls around to make sure they don't end up in a big messy heap.
Oh and my husband had a go at me yesterday for knitting in a restaurant. I told him I am on a roll and anyway the restaurant is only Pizza Hut. If all this kids can be screaming and running around at least I should be able to knit and keep my sanity?
