Imbri
Resident Night Mare
Now that September is here, I'm starting to think about holiday gifting for family and a few friends (fortunately, I've got a small list). I generally make things, so I need to start a few months ahead of time.
This year. I'm making a scarf for my sister and her husband, a cowl for my mother, and a pair of socks for my niece. My sister's scarf and Mom's cowl are knitted, I just have to block them. My BIL's scarf is similar to one I made for my step-father last year. He loved the pattern, but the yarn is discontinued, so I had to go hunting for a suitable substitution. Mom got a pair of socks last year and my niece begged for a some this year.
There are a couple of friends who will probably get some little things (small, not inconsequential) like fingerless mitts, headbands, or a hat.
And to make things more interesting, I participate in NaNoWriMo every year, so November is basically out of play for knitting.
Anyone else making stuff for the holidays?
