Who else has started their December holiday presents?  

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
This week I started two sweaters, one for DH ( Ron's Raglan from Charmed Knits, minus the maroon R) and a yellow and orange acrylic raglann worked in the round for the stb 6 yo.
I also plan to make the 11 yo the UNder the Hoodie sweatshirt from Son of SNB and I will need to come up for something for the 9yo girlie ( I will save her for last because if need be I can do her a crocheted shrug in a few hours).
I plan to give them to them on Christmas Eve, before we leave for church To keep them surprises I'm working on the at different times; Dh's during the day, the kids at night after they're on bed. I'll need to take them to knitting group too.
If time allows I want to make DS (6) mittens and DD socks, plus I need to make my BFF socks for Hannukah.
Who else has started early.

I just finished a hat for DS for Christmas, and I want to knit him a pair of mittens too. He is too little to understand yet, so I can knit right in front of him. I don't really have too many folks to give gifts too, but I might make a few hats for friends kiddos that play with DS.

Oh, and I am definitely knitting my daycare boy (7 weeks older than DS) a matching hat for Christmas too. They are like brothers, but again, he is little, so I won't have to hide it from him.

I really want to have a homemade Christmas this year.

I started some garterlac dishcloths in a Christmas-colored cotton yarn last weekend. I'm hoping to make a bunch for DH's various relatives and co-workers, and maybe some crocheted tie towel toppers to go with them.

Haven't started this yet, but I spotted a felted squirrel pattern from Fiber Trends that DD would love.

I've been thinking about my list over the past few days actually! After I get done with the two cardi's I'm doing for yarn company samples, I'm gonna start on Christmas stuff.

Wrap Cardi for myself
CPH for my sister
Coordinating outfits for my DD and niece (exact same age, literally 18 hours apart) longies from LTK and cardi sweater from Uberknits
Socks for FIL (bought the yarn over a year ago!)
Finish Quinn for my mom (started in April to give for mothers day but didn't get too far!!)
Finish hat for DH (its 3/4 done)
Fingerless mittens for myself as well

No one else appreciates my knitting as much as I do so might as well do most of my knitting for me

I haven't actually started, but I have made a list of everything I need so I can pick it up and start when we get some more money. Lets see.

My DD is getting a Toasty Topper from Knitty
My DS is getting a hedgehog toy from Lion Brand's site

My 2yo Nephew is getting a Toasty Topper
My niece who was just born will get a pair of booties

DH's nephews will get knit hats
DH's niece will get a pair of ballerina slippers (both patterns from Knitty)


I also need to make Stockings for my babies.

Not in particular. I knit things throughout the year for fun and then I have a few gifts to pick from.

I have one fingerless glove done for my Sdad. I am doing the female version fingerless gloves for my mom. I haven't figured out what to do for everyone else. I was thinking about doing a wine bottle cozy or a coffee cozy for my sister. I am looking for ideas on what to do for my 7 yo neice. It needs to be fast because I have to do it in my spare time.

I am also going to be making a bunch of dishcloths and knit top towels for my dad for Christmas too. Nearly forgot about those, but he would be disappointed if I forgot! I need to get knitting!
