No Peeking!

Two wonderful things happened yesterday: the rain arrived and Finn finally started napping. It was the perfect opportunity to get started on my crafting for Christmas gifting.



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...)


Toasty from a friend to knit with
Garter stitch + knit in the round = perfect movie watching knitting

I want these for myself!

Turn a Square by Jared from brooklyntweed


Dinosaur Play Mat from Craftzine
It folds up into a volcano shape for storing.

I've never tried entrelac and I'm embarrassingly excited about this one.

This reminds me of a wooden version my little sister had.

Plus I've got a few ideas of my own (stay tuned!)  Whew, this is starting to seem a bit overly ambitious...  I better go get crafting!
