Gift Knitting

This year I've decided to replace my usual flurry of selfish knitting with handmade Christmas gifts.

I've made a rather ambitious schedule for myself, and while this is mostly a to-do list, it may inspire you in your own gift-knitting as well:

- for DAD - slip-stitch socks, Cobblestone Pullover, finish Oiled Wool gloves from last year
- for MOM - Baby Cables and Big Ones Too, Odessa hat (yay shiny beads!)
- for my BROTHER - oiled wool Broad Street Mitts, finish his birthday hat
- for a FRIEND - matching hat and fingerless glove set

I may also be able to tack on:

- for my GRANDMOTHER - tabi socks
- for an AUNT - lace picture mats (may do something else instead)
- for our DACHSHUND - a custom-sized cabled dog sweater (kind of a gift for my mom)
- for our KITTIES - catnip-filled mice

For the rest of my family and friends, I think I'm going to go with batches of these cookies, which are insanely delicious, or some other baked treat.

What are your gift plans?

WOW! That's an impressive list. Just the thought of knitting TWO sweaters in a less than a month makes me feel panicky.
I've been busy cranking out Fetching fingerless gloves (I want to make 7 pairs). I wish I had more time to knit so that I could make matching hats.
Good luck with all of your knitting! Can't wait to see the finished products!!
