I seem to be making it a tradition to knit something for family member every Christmas. I rather enjoy it, kinda like the way I like cooking for others (Which takes far less time than knitting an object.). The look of awe and joy on their faces. The comments, "You could make money doing this" not realizing how much I'd have to charge to net a profit.
In '06 it was a hat and scarf set for all. Last year everyone go socks or slipper socks. This year it is a felted tote for sis and Mom and a sweater for the bro-in-law. I'm already looking ahead to Christmas '09: pillows, table runners, place mats, waxh cloths and towels, and so on. For the most part stuff that is quick and practical and you don't have to worry if its too big or small. I just have to hope they don't paint or buy new furniture between now and next year. Can't have the colors clashing now, can we?!
