Handmade Holiday-Join Us!

Another Wreath-here’s the how-to
Yeah!! Rosie over at www.rosieknits.com just signed up to participate in Handmade Holiday. Check out her blog, lots of snappy things!
Personally I am rolling along on the gifts. I had lots of good knit time on the DC trip this weekend, so I now have a cardigan done for little-sis and half a sock for a family friend. Deep calming breath, it will all get done.
Need an idea for what to make? Here are some smaller projects I’ve come across. Have a good idea for a simple handmade gift? just e-mail me and I’ll add it to the list. (becca (at) handmademom dot com).
- Portfolio from Amy Butler - I think I might make one of these for big-sis. She’s writing a book-a-day right now. This looks like something she would love, and I can make in an evening…perfect combo. Have I mentioned I love her fabrics:
- Knitty’s winter issue always has tons of great quick gift ideas.
- Did you say baby? Here’s a pattern for a knitted baby kimono over at The Complete Fabrication. Too cute.
- For the kids this year we are doing lots of books. I am including a set of my Doggie Bookplates with each one. If I have time I also plan on making a busy bag to hold them….right, time…

I’m getting mostly books and CDs for my nieces, so tote bags would be really cute. Thanks for the idea!

Tote bags are a great idea!
I have to say I feel lucky this time of year I can actually make things.
