I’m way ahead of schedule this year with my Christmas gifts. I’ve made lists, ordered yarn, purchased some items. I’m well on my way and I’m very happy about this. I figured with all I had going on this year I had better stay organized. I started a Christmas list in word and I make notes on my phone when something pops in my head and add it to the list later. It’s very effective and I recommend it. My problem in the past has always been being a little too overzealous with the hand made gifts and make a to-knit list longer than all the projects I’ve finished during the whole year. At some point I realize it’s not going to happen and I am rushed to find meaningful gifts.

So this year I’m only a knitting a select few items, giving out a few meaningful gifts that I just have to put together, and perhaps looking for handmade gifts that someone else has made and support makers like myself! I already purchased an item from a local Etsy seller (I can’t share just in case my sister reads this ha).

I started on one of my knitting projects this past weekend and after a little bit of a hiatus from it I was very pleased to just sit down and enjoy some peaceful knitting.

P.S. In the photo I’m wearing the last project I finished back in September. I love it!
