(Julie, you have to understand that for knitters, making gifts is an excuse to sit around knitting. I think of knitting gifts as 'sucking the fun out of the yarn and then passing it on'. And since I live in NH, the recipients are generally okay with being buried in woolly handknits. )RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-88189565093890248532013-11-24T13:18:00.554-05:002013-11-24T13:18:00.554-05:00lol yeah I always think to myself that I should ma...lol yeah I always think to myself that I should make handmade gifts for Christmas and then the reality hits that I just don't want to spend the time needed to accomplish that.Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827476441219850741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-64419077088642449682013-11-24T12:47:40.391-05:002013-11-24T12:47:40.391-05:00Ha, ha, for a hand knit Christmas, you pretty much...Ha, ha, for a hand knit Christmas, you pretty much need to get started on December 26 and work non stop. I am knitting a nordic table runner for my step mother this year. I'm concerned that she won't like it, but it's already several feet long, so I am committed to it.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-5292410276859306502013-11-23T11:25:12.241-05:002013-11-23T11:25:12.241-05:00My mother used to tell me it's the thought tha...My mother used to tell me it's the thought that counts. I hope that's true. I've thought a lot about making aprons and scarves and crafts as gifts for everyone this year. But that's all I've managed so far -- just thoughts.

I should probably take a good hard look at the calendar, my work schedule, and my free time (mostly non-existent). <br />Like you, I'm still in denial. I like it there. :)Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16705613736966783261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-13252414622104374812013-11-22T14:42:30.500-05:002013-11-22T14:42:30.500-05:00Knit and purl, girl!Knit and purl, girl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-59611975002733764692013-11-22T13:47:32.531-05:002013-11-22T13:47:32.531-05:00It's beautiful!
