Knitting for Christmas

i have never knitted any kind of gifts for Christmas because i never seemed to find the time to finish my knitting projects in time for Christmas i would like to knit gifts for Christmas but i just do not have that much time maybe after i get some more time on my hands i will be able to knit Christmas gifts for my family members i know that is something that they would really like especially my grandmother and my mother i think knitting makes a good Christmas gift because it is senimental and something that they can actually use happy knitting!

Hi peavey. Last year, I knit purses for all the secretaries at work and they went ape! They just loved them. I used a pretty basic pattern with the bambo-looking purse handles and the Lion brand Fun Fur and lined them with an old tie-dyed t-shirt. They wer really cute. I even saved one for myself but haven't carried it. I just love knitting purses. I may try to do some this year but we have a big trip coming up and I just have no time to concentrate on knitting right now. But yes, I am seriously thinking about knitting some gifts. PearlGrace

See, I woud love it if someone would knit gifts for me. I am just learning how to crochet and so far I have only mastered the scarf. Last year I made matching scarves for my sisters and their american girl dolls and they loved them. It felt great to have them actually like them, so I am already working on making some blankies for them. They keep asking for large blankets for thier new beds so I hope I can get them done by christmas time.

I am knitting hats and scarves for Christmas. They're pretty basic cabled hats, so I think people will like them. And they don't take too long to make.
