Christmas Craftiness

[smallhobbit]

One of the delights of being known by family and friends as being 'into crafts' means lots of crafty presents:



Which sorts out rather nicely all my projects once the current ones are finished!

The hat pattern (a present from my husband) naturally required wool to be purchased (I know such a hardship).  It's knitted in the round, so I dug out my circular needles.  Which naturally are both the wrong size for the pattern, so I've ordered needles as well.  Husband said he could either buy me new slippers or pay for the craft order - no contest really ;)

The knitting projects book came from my son and daughter-in-law (chosen by DIL).  I told her how pleased I was with the gift, and she said she wasn't sure what I could do with the items once I'd knitted them.  "Give them to my granddaughter!"  She laughed and said, "When I showed A the book, she pointed at some of the pictures and said, 'Granny can make me those'."

Check-In Post December 26th 2020

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: Some of you seem to have read my mind but I'm going to ask this one anyway... Did anyone get anything craft-related in their Christmas stocking?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!
