Yep, it’s that time again. Since I took the ‘buy handmade pledge‘ I vowed to never buy another Christmas present again. Last year I successfully knitted every single Christmas gift. I also stressed out BIG TIME towards the end. As some of you may know, sprint knitting is NOT fun. In fact it sucks. Last year I started making gifts in September. This year I am starting now. At least the planning portion. I have most presents figured out. Bummer about knitted gifts is that I cannot post anything about them until the recipient receives the gift! No worries readers…I have Knitting ADD so chances are I will be working on more than just Christmas presents in the next coming months!! Plus, I am going to try and dye all of the yarn for my gifts this year, which should be fun. I can share dyed yarn. The expecting knitted gift recipient will have no idea!!
What’s your favorite knitted Christmas/Holiday gift?

Haha, I am so with you on this – I’ve been browsing patterns since April and now I have a definite list of what I’ll be making everyone. Next (and perhaps most exciting) step – purchasing yarn! Would you believe there are NO lys’s in the dc area that carry Malabrigo? I’m going to take everyone’s word about how great it is and order online.
My favorite knitted Christmas gift is slippers, because to me they invoke the image of being cozy-by-the-fire reading a book and drinking a cup of coffee (with Bailey’s) 🙂
