On your mark…get set…. GIFT!!
Here are some of my private pick for this year, I really hope to be able to finish some of these!!
These seem like a sweet little stocking stuffer suited for a Christmas in summer (well, kind of) Grow your Own by Sarah M Goodwin
The Warwick Hat by Nina Machlin Dayton looks like a happy knit and I really like the small latvian braids for a detail!
And how about this stunner of a shawl? Lunar Progression by Theressa Silver
If I could crochet better I would definitely go for this one Mists in Spring Kimono Tunic by Lilinette Crochet. It looks fabulous and airy, quite perfect for a summery Christmas on the beach 😛
Now I’ll dive into the sales bundle and see which treasures I can dig up!
Happy hunting and knitting!
