I'll mostly be knitting and crocheting this year so I can take advantage of those sleepy nursing sessions to multitask. I've got a lot of recipients on my list, so I've got to start early and focus on small projects, mostly hats and mittens and the like. Here are some links to things I'm considering making (note to family: now's the time to stop reading...)

Great links, thank you. I'm loving the little lamb and the buttoned neckwarmer :)
ReplyDeletei made the star crossed slouchy hat for my sister last christmas its reallly a beautiful hat when your all done ^_^.
ReplyDeletewow! awesome, I am thinking about sewing napkins and maybe making a few pair of socks, maybe a doll for my little one. Mostly sewing as I am so much faster at it and Chrismas seems so close...eek!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite an ambitious list! I can't wait to see how it all comes out. And I can't help but hope you love making the slouchy beret. Then I'll have to beg and plead to maybe barter for you to make another, it's gorgeous! I really need to learn to knit....
ReplyDelete:)
Thank you so much for sharing this great list and the places to find the how-to's!
ReplyDeleteGreat Crafty Inspiration! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am sewing some Long sleeve dresses with mushroom and Fairies on them for my Grand-babys
I made the fetching gloves from knitty last year, and they turned out great. Really pretty quick work, too. Good luck on your projects! Love the blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm making most of my Christmas gifts this year, too. I'm sewing mostly bags, aprons and hot water bottle cozies, but I'm also taking a stab at a hat and booties from "Natural Knits for Babies and Mums." We'll see how that goes - it's been years since I've knitted anything!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to pick up my needles...starting with the arm warmers for my daughter. She figures she could use them as arm or leg warmers. Love your blog. I am putting a link to it on my blog. vamosverde.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteLovely gift ideas! I've wanted to make crocheted jewelry for a while now...perhaps it's time to give it a try. I really like the trypdisc earrings. Can't wait to see how yours turn out!
ReplyDeletehello,
ReplyDeletei already finished making my christmas presents except for an order placed by my younger sister for a cardigan that i designed, she wants exactly the same one as mine in exactly the same color.
what i already made: many "empire hats" and many "1840 nightcaps" but with wool and a different gauge of course.
my notes are on my ravelry project called "royal hat". i knit with all of those matching scarves.
i made us for the home tree bird ornaments off purl bee and also their pine tree sachets but to use as decoration, i may introduce some "clover"(?) between the stitches though.
what's your ravelry ID?
(very good choice of items, i already downloaded some from your list which i am not good at making).
would you happen to have in mind a simple, no-stitch classical pattern for a 25 gram skein of 105 yards worth of red angora? it's farm made.
Nice effort, very creative, this will help me a lot!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Those look AMAZING!! What a lovely gift idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case. Agen Sbobet Agen Ibcbet
ReplyDeleteRight here is the perfect website for everyone who wants to understand this topic. You understand a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a subject that has been discussed for decades. Great stuff, just wonderful
