A number of years ago I made all of my Christmas gifts too. I did that for about three years until I dedcided to make a beautiful wall hanging for my inlaws. <br /><br />It had several cross stich panels and they were quilted into the shape of a Christmas tree. I thought I would commit harey-carey. That was the end of my gift making for Tanyahttp://igniteyour.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-88548550568787665972010-12-03T16:31:17.494-05:002010-12-03T16:31:17.494-05:00You are brave making homemade gifts.

I'd probably stick the needles in my face or worse still my eyes (eeeeeek!) I once tried to knit a scarf but it looked very holey and mis-shapen so I gave up. I laughed at Tucker trying to pull it off. Maybe he thought it would be ideal for Santa to put presents in on the 24/25th :)Carol E Wyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375439814725846546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-77907807264773686912010-12-02T10:12:27.910-05:002010-12-02T10:12:27.910-05:00You'll find the second sock much easier to kni...You'll find the second sock much easier to knit!

My daughter takes an art class and I heard I'm getting a painting from her. My oldest always makes me a book marker and I hope he's never too grown up to do that.

I read your post and it is hilarious. I started knitting about two years ago. I made 3 scarf and hat sets last year for Granddaughters Christmas and haven't picked up the needles since. I have a basket full of sock yarn but can't make myself start. After reading your blog, I may sell my yarn on ebay, LOL.

I'm amazed that you stuck at it with all that 'help'. You are one determined gal! With a lovely sock to prove it. My advice is: don't quit now - making sock number two will be much better.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.com
