Remember Those Christmas Crafts?

Well... I got a few of them finished, one being the Puff Stitch scarf. Not bad for my first try. I will definitely be giving this another go around in the future.



I'm still working on Emma's blanket. With the move I've kinda been doing a few rounds here and there. Hopefully I will be able to devote more time to it in a couple of weeks.

Christmas Crafting

The beginnings of a scarf and a blanket

Its December! Since most of my funds will be going toward our new future apartment, I thought I should get started making a few gifts. You can never really go wrong with something handmade. Emma has been asking me to make her a blanket for the longest, so I finally spotted the perfect yarn and picked it up the other day. I started her new blanket last night. It will be a classic large granny square, in colors that coordinate with her Princess and the Frog bedding. Thought it would be a nice touch to her new room.


Along with this blanket, I'm making a puff stitch scarf as a gift for someone else. This is my first time trying the puff stitch. I got off to an interesting start, but as the rows progressed I started to see that I was right on target. Its gonna be a nice one. So grateful for Teresa's tutorials! I'll be throwing a few hats into the mix too, and my Christmas gifting will be complete.

How are you handling holiday gift giving this season? Will you be getting crafty? Will you be buying handmade?
