I've got a list started of the knitted holiday gifts to make up this year.
Mom: pair of felted slippers in dark blue
younger brother: 2x2 rib stocking cap made from some black/grey/white yarn I handspun last winter/spring (done) with matchin fingerless mitts if he's lucky (IOW, if I've the time)
stepdad: Farrow Rib Scarf the most brilliant stitch I've ever seen, it's, like, thermal, or something (in progress, I've about a third done) in a nice self striping yarn of muted blue, brown, and green.
middle brother: set of felted coasters in the '49ers colors. My SIL said knitted ones would be nice, should the baby bang them on the coffee table they won't leave dents.
sister in law: knitted stocking cap, Miami Dolphins teal color, haven't decided the design yet
niece age 17: Quiddich socks, Gryffindor House, naturally
Niece age 10 mos: I'll do baby socks for her, too, not sure which yarn yet
***
My goal is to only use yarn I've already got--I'm not allowed to buy any new yarn for these projects. I have a burgoning yarn stash that seriously needs depleting.
These are all fairly simple projects that should go quickly, two or three days, except for the socks and slippers. However, I will have to dye some yarn in order to not have to buy any more. That's no big, I don't think. We'll see.
Yes, I know I'm insane. What's your point?
