Every year around this time I start to think about gift knitting for the holidays. I don't often give hand-knitted gifts, but I do usually feel the urge to, and sometimes around Thanksgiving I start to scramble and decide to make some stuff last minute. Like a crazy person. Since that urge hit me this week (whew - a couple weeks earlier than usual!), I thought I'd do a round up of previous knitted gifts. It was fun re-visiting some of these, and I clearly have some favorites (like the Wurm, which I talked about in this post).
Here we go:
One year Mom got a matching brioche cowl and ...
...wurm hat knit with Entropy DK.
The Hangover Hair Hider is always a fave...
...as is the Christopher Hat (double-sided!).
This one was very special ...
...as was this one.
Sometimes a little whimsy is called for ...
...and sometimes a pirate just needs a new hat.
Sometimes an improvised dickey is just what the white elephant party calls for...
And socks are ALWAYS a go-to appreciated gift!
