Tis the Season!

Its getting close to Christmas and Hanukkah has started !In a few weeks it will be a new year already. Boy the year goes fast, I remember sitting on the beach at the Jersey Shore this summer. It doesn't seem like that long ago.
I have several pictures for you..Just Please Please ignore the model. I'm sure several of you will say "Hmmmm that back round looks familiar". Can ya guess where the pictures were taken? HEHEHE! Yes Yes I know I'm nut's...Its the ones that don't know that ya gotta watch out for! Ok, ok pictures already!
I am posting these because they are gifts that can be made quick. Just make a few and put them under tree without a tag, you could even have it in a nice Holiday bag and when you receive a gift you did not expect, You have one READY and waiting! I hate when someone gives me a gift and I have nothing to give back, I know, I know tis the season for giving not receiving, but still...So here we go: THE TOP TEN GIFTS FROM A YARN SHOP !

THE BEADED BAG: Here is the cutest little bag with a draw string and beads..You can make it quick. I wrote the pattern and have it here so, If your interested please let me know... I know it seems like it might be hard but knitting with beads is soooo easy!

Several of you wanted to see my daughter Kallie acutally using the bag..I made it for her to take to Saucon Valley's Christmas dance. See it on her left hip. She loved it and several of her friends asked her where she got it!
2 HATS:
Ok now this is where I said "IGNORE the model!"

Just look at the hat's (really I mean it) The first is a pattern from Norah Gaughan's new book (very easy) and the second is an earflap hat that my kids love and it can be made in a day! REALLY! As you can see it fits me also. (don't look though)
A SCARF:

A HEADBAND:

The one on the left is a scarf from Norah's book also. You can make it as long or short as you like and you could make the hat to match. If you like headbands better you can whip this one up in a jiffy! It's just ribbing and short rows..Add a large button on the back and your done.

A NECKWARMER:

If you have decided you are just not going to make another scarf, that's ok too. Here is a neck warmer! It works to keep the cold out and guy's love them. They are great for skiing and hunting. What guy is going to sit in the woods with a scarf on? BUT a NECKWARMER...AHHH!

WASHCLOTHS:

I had to post another picture of the neck warmer. Also the neck warmer is resting on a washcloth and to the right of the white washcloth is a ball band washcloth. They are great gift also. A couple of wash clothes tied with a ribbon or in a small basket. What a great hostess gift to take to a party!

UNRUFFLE BAG:

Here is another little bag without all the ruffle's. If you know someone that isn't ruffley(is that a word) then this is the bag for
you. Quick and easy baby! That's what I say..(Uhh maybe I shouldn't say that anymore)

FINGERLESS GLOVES:

Who can pass up fingerless gloves? I know I cant. I love them and use mine everyday. They are great for driving and guitar playing and OHmygoodness KNITTING or golfing, or working on the computer or working on the car or walking the dog or drawing or construction or....You get the idea!

AND THE NUMBER ONE CHRISTMAS GIFT (drum roll plzzzz)

A GIFT CERTIFICATE! (for yourself)

This is the gift certificate tree..Here's my idea...copy and paste from (And the number one Christmas gift is...) and forward it onto your family members. Maybe just maybe they will get the hint and stop to pick a gift certificate off the gift tree!
