Maybe I never learn because even though it stresses me out each year, in the end, I always come out feeling good about what I've made.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478839034249164862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-69619849372791093632010-11-14T22:39:25.217+00:002010-11-14T22:39:25.217+00:00I tried the whole "just knit for birthdays&qu...I tried the whole "just knit for birthdays" thing this year which was a great idea except that I planned to knit 3 afghans for 3 birthdays which fall exactly 1 month apart. The first niece got her afghan a few weeks after her actual day (because that's when I traveled up to Canada) and I'm STILL working on #2 (birthday is now 2 weeks past) and I've no realistic hope of finished #3 anywhere near to before Christmas. So now no one is getting Christmas knits and I may be empty handed for a birthday too !

Wonky, not perfectly knitted presents are fantastic - you just wear them about the house and they remind you of the person who got all enthusiastic about making something for you. But I have stopped Christmas knitting. Not everyone has that attitude. Knitting now just for fellow knitters or family who get a kick out of it. And not for special occasions - just random presents!Gidgetknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725340224137694608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-15961012455237911392010-11-12T05:47:46.362+00:002010-11-12T05:47:46.362+00:00Last year I burnt myself out with Christmas gift k...Last year I burnt myself out with Christmas gift knitting. I've hardly knit a thing since then. It's sad, really. So I've decided that this year I'm not giving any knits.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688419645901750448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-24393754933961251892010-11-12T04:05:54.094+00:002010-11-12T04:05:54.094+00:00Sarah, you're too funny!
