What sort of holiday gifts are you knitting this year? (lemm.ee)

Got myself into a bit of a pickle, same as basically every year, where I probably need to make something for my grandma but am out of ideas.

So I thought a thread about what sort of gifts we're all making might be fun but also might kick my brain into gear ideas-wise ๐Ÿ˜„

My mam has requested I sew her a draught excluder for her living room door, which is a sewing project so simple even I presumably can't muck it up. But so far I've got no real knitting plans beyond a vague "make some tiny last-minute baby stuff for new parent friends".

Dazzle me with your festive knitting plans!

I knit a matching set of hat, mittens and a thick scarf for me and my boyfriend this Christmas, I can't wait for him to open them up and see that we can match! I think another cute idea could be knee socks for a family member who might feel chilly at home during winter, I know my mom preferred something that covered more leg since it helps warm up the blood flow better. I have not yet tackled a sweater project but a sweater or cardigan could be a valued gift too. Another good idea for winter would be a throw blanket although that plan would need a bit more time to prepare for, haha.

Omg I would like to respectfully request a photo of you two all kitted up in your matching cozies sometime shortly after Christmas, please. That is so cute!

Actually really like the knee socks idea for my grandma but I'd need to make them out of thicker yarn both for speed purposes and also for her ease of getting them on and off, hmm, thanks that might be a goer!
