So, this year, especially because I am still fine tuning my knitting skills/speed, I am only making one or two gifts this year. <BR/><BR/>I love the gift packaging you made.

I have so many WsIP right now that I can't add any more to my plate... an afghan square for a friend, an afghan square for a charity auction, a wedding shawl for a friend (nevermind that I'm getting married 6 months after her... who will knit for me? :) ), socks for the fiancee, a neckwarmer for the fiance...<BR/><BR/>If I get either of Dave's items done before Christmas, they'll be Christmas presents. Otherwise, that's all the holiday knitting I'll do. :)<BR/><BR/>(Although, I might crochet some dollies for my cousins - I have a few little girl cousins who are age 2 or younger and that would be a quick gift...)Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288381907398829599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11928265.post-1163594408451829272006-11-15T07:40:00.000-05:002006-11-15T07:40:00.000-05:00I can only see one hand knit thing at a time.

Instead of a button you should posting places that sell great knits that I can pass off as my own!Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161997702198614797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11928265.post-1163588298357110072006-11-15T05:58:00.000-05:002006-11-15T05:58:00.000-05:00Wow!!
