I decided that this year, I'm going to make all my Christmas presents, instead of buying things. Home-made things always seem to carry more sentiment than things from the store, I've noticed. I always get a little thrill when I receive something that someone has made especially for me. Just the idea of someone working away over needles or yarn or whatever for me has always made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. So, I've decided to spread that warm and fuzzy feeling, by working with warm and fuzzy yarn. Yep, I've taught myself how to knit. I've already made my mom's Christmas present (I'm not completely sure if she reads my blog or not, so I'm not going to say what it is :)) I'm working on my Dad's right now, and still have to discover what exactly I'm making for everyone else. It's difficult to find something that's pretty, useful, and still in my skill level.
Not everything I'm making for Christmas is knitted, however. I'm also embroidering some other things, and for my siblings, I'm writing a story that we used to play when we were younger.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for home-made Christmas presents, please let me know!!
