Shhhhh. Don’t Say the “C” Word….

Tree But it’s coming, you know. Christmas. The time when all of us (yes, I’m including myself) break into this little drama, it goes something like this:

Myself: I can knit. I can knit fast. See Terrye knit. See Terrye knit fast. See Terrye knit something for everyone on her gift list……… See Terrye throw yarn across room in frustration (yes, it has happened). Don’t be shocked, if Eunny can tie knots, I can throw yarn… just saying… tree_stocking

Reality: Dude! We go through this every year. You cannot do this. It is an unatainable goal. Just give it up already….

Every year. Just like Rudolph, Frosty and all of the other yearly dramas. We could actually probably sell the rights to that movie. But.. I digress. Being as “The Season” is rapidly approaching, Tina, from the Phoenix Knitting Examiner is here to bail us out.

Great link… The panicky knitting season has begun.
I have a number of “tween” nieces, nephews and cousins that I like to do a little holiday something for. This year I made some cute mini Christmas sweater ornaments out of leftover sock yarn. They’re the perfect size to hold a little gift card or a little cash for their favorite things. I ask the moms – usually the preference is coffee, juice, make-up and itunes. $5 or $10 goes pretty far for these kids and is easy!
Oh, yes and I knit the ornaments this summer while waiting for my own kids at summer school!
