Lest you think I'm Planny McOrganized, I invariably give my knitting away randomly throughout the year which leads to a holiday knitting frenzy. It seems to me that most knitters are generous people; I knit more gifts than personal items.<br />By the way, I absolutely love the shaped shawl and I love *love* Magnolia.This knitted shawl would be mine, all mine.<br />lena dot holmes at gmail dot comLenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352606959936222622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474824713176294575.post-62759682274218486172011-10-28T14:58:16.018-04:002011-10-28T14:58:16.018-04:00Holiday knitting is great as it gives you a chance...Holiday knitting is great as it gives you a chance to knit something special in a yummy yarn - and then give it away!!dooniebabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13794221742431119766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474824713176294575.post-63406700799132665342011-10-27T17:31:55.326-04:002011-10-27T17:31:55.326-04:00Only small knitted gift for Christmas, but mostly ...Only small knitted gift for Christmas, but mostly I knit for myself, best friends and family.<br />asteride at gmail.comasteridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190470210585551628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474824713176294575.post-42694640369315960872011-10-27T06:56:00.237-04:002011-10-27T06:56:00.237-04:00Knitting for Christmas gifts is soooo difficult - ...Knitting for Christmas gifts is soooo difficult - what to make, will they appreciate the effort, do I have enough time!?

I start knitting for holiday gifts (many many birthdays in Oct, Nov and Dec PLUS the Solstice, Jewish and Christian winter holidays) in March each year. I make a list and sometimes make the same pattern (like socks or a man's scarf) a few times for different men in the family and then something for each person. Every year. Did I mention that I had a small family until this year when my son married into a very large one. We will see if I can continue my knitting gifting with a baby coming along as well !!!! Anyway, it is a delight. Folks really like what they get (and they are not being polite). We live in Buffalo NY so most folks go through knitwear pretty quickly and get bored with what they have .... so it is a challenge and loads of FUN and a great way to express love. I am knitting holiday gifts all year long. Today I discovered that I don't have a hat or scarf ... so cast on I shall.

Then, last year, I knit a hat for my older brother as a last minute addition to his gifts and I swear he didn't take it off for two days straight. As soon as it was opened he put it on his head and didn't take it off for the rest of the night. The next day he showed up to the party at our uncle's house with the hat still on his head and did not take it off the entire day. His girlfriend even said he wore it to the holiday party with her family that morning. So I guess when it comes to recipients being appreciative, actions speak louder than words. He'll be getting another hat from me this year.
