Am I crazy?! Holiday knitting?

[mysticmomma]

I've started my holiday knitting already... feel like I should have started in January. So far I've made:

Fingerless mittens from my own pattern. Basically knit a rectangle and knit up the side leaving a spot for the thumb.

A coin purse

A drawstring bag

I'm working on some dish/tea towels now.

No- totally not crazy. so far I have knit 3 hats for Christmas gifts. I want to knit DH an afgan for Christmas and at least 3 pairs of socks for his birthday (Dec. 5th). I have a long list for other hand knit worthy family members as well. I finally printed off my patterns this afternoon for inspiration. It is fun- but sucky though- cause I am mostly a selfish knitter.

I think I am going to be knitting up Thrummed mittens for a lot of my gift recipients- those should go pretty fast and be pretty fabulous right? Like they should look much fancier than ordinary mittens and still be just as quick and dirty?

stupid double post..

Oh gosh, I've started because I have little time and I'm so slow. Never too early to start is my motto.

Where did you get the coin purse pattern?

I'm thinking that I'm going to go with a theme for Christmas--I was thinking "Cozy" so knitting will definitely fit the bill!

I also started in January. I have done a bath puppet and a few small bags. Got 1 dishcloth done and working on another. I have plans for some scarves as well and maybe some hats.

Coin purses must be the thing this year! I'm planning on making the felted one in AlterKnits Felt for several different people!

I have been hyper-focused on knitting for this up adn coming baby (Dec. 27), so I haven't even considered Holiday knitting. I do like the rugs and runners I have seen lately, though. I know those can be time-consuming, but I have been known to knit blankets for 3 people at once...

I am in the middle of a knitting/sewing/thinking about christmas present ideas frenzy!

I think I have a few too many things in mind, but I figure an early start will help me along.

I'm just finishing up an Advent Calendar - 24 knitted hats and mittens. Copied idea from the Garnet Hill catalog. Also have started hats for two nieces.
