I'm not quite sure how it happened, but all of a sudden, Christmas is just a little more than a week away. If you're at all like me, your to-do list is way too long, so you're scrambling to find fast and easy last-minute gift solutions.
With that in mind, I'm highlighting a handful of patterns that are quick, compact and easy,and am running a holiday sale.*
I'm a slow knitter as you well know, but even I could complete several of the following projects in time for gift-giving. Let's take a look.
Christmas Trees
Worked from the top down, these classic reversible Christmas Trees are ideal as ornaments, mug mats, hotpads, table accents and more. As an added plus, they can be knit in any gauge, any yarn weight, and a wide range of sizes from extra small to extra large.

I am quite a slow knitter too, but I do think fingerless mitts make a great present.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more, but I'm biased. I love fingerless mitts and wear them nearly every day from early fall through late spring!
