i also gave a knitty type gift - my little sister was my secret santa, and she has a renewed interest in knitting, she also adores harry potter so when I found Charmed Knits at half price books I grabbed it for her package. She was sooo excited. She also got money for her summer youth trip fund, and some christmasy stuff since Christmas Day was depressing at my parents house this year. (They had to call a plumber AND my kids didn’t visit. hee)

I didn’t do any. I tried. I knit two sleeves for a beer sweater, but I never did get the rest of it knit - luckily for me daddy’s birthday is Jan. 9 so I have time to complete it before then. Guiness is a great gift for him, because he never splurges on the good beer - just gets the cheap stuff.

I also started a scarf for my brother, which I haven’t looke at in days. Sorry CJ! I should call him and really apologize. I suck. He lives in Ct. so it is cold enough to need the scarf.

OH and the TKD teacher (who we adore) got a starbucks card & knit sleeve for her SB cups. The it’s not rocket science one. LOVE the pattern, knits up in a movie. Didn’t get a photo but I will be knitting it again.

I got some knitty gifts. Some stuff from my amazon wishlist - DPNs from knit picks sizes 0 - 3, a skein of SWS in blue, plastic stitch markers. Also some gorgeous blue shiny handmade stitch markers from the lovely Marsha (were these an etsy purchase???) LOVE em. I’m excited about all the stitch markers because I’ve been using yarn tied in circles lately out of pure laziness to find or purchase new ones. hah.

I also got a check for $30 that I am strongly considering spending at the LYS after Christmas sale.
