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!

Scarves and hats haha, as easy and boring as possible. If I knew how I would love to make little stuffed animals or knit ornaments. I love the cute little animal ornaments, with little sweaters and scarves ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Can't go wrong with the classics! Unfortunately both my mam and grandma are officially well-stocked for knitted scarves and hats by this point ๐Ÿ˜‚

If you do decide to give the ornaments a whirl I'm sure they'll end up being much simpler than you think. It's all just following the instructions one stitch at a time. And of course, you have us for moral support if you get stuck with anything... ๐Ÿ˜„

I appreciate the encouragement โค๏ธ one stitch at a time-- putting it that way maybe I can haha. I hope you find something you'd like to knit this year! :)
