Crash and burn....
Dec. 21st, 2015 12:03 pmWell I think I've hit the crash and burn point. On Saturday, the socks I was knitting for my SIL were determined to be way too large and beyond redemption. They went into the frog pond and I was left without a project for her Christmas present. So, after a bit of a cry, I called Mom and arranged to take Dad (and her shopping).
Updating the Christmas/12th night list:
Kaylynn- The Rivendell hat
Ada- Caesuis but it was a little big
Abbey- Star-crossed slouchy hat
Family:
Mom (birthday)- Decorative items for the new bathroom
Mom (christmas)- Bought a cardigan and a knit skirt. Marian is making a basket

Dad, Therin, BIL, Jordan- Tie tacks (Marian's work) Options below. I think I'll go with the clock one for Jordan and maybe the black with copper one for my BIL. I don't know for sure yet about my brother and Dad.



Dad- Zipper ties
Brother (birthday)- He asked for exotic woods to make boxes. I bought some Ipe and some Cumuru
Brother (christmas)- Jeans
Lillyana- clothes, Sofia dress & Christmas stocking, There were also some little booties knit
SIL- Cricket Cartridges (x2 because they were huge deal~60% off) ribbon cowl, Hair stick (Marian's Work)
Sister- Barrette (Marian's work)
Adriel- Barrette (Marian's work)


Marian presented me with options. I think my SIL will get the orange hairstick. Adriel will get the green cameo barrette. My sister will get the pink flower barrette...maybe, I need to look at them in person. I may go with the tear shaped one instead.
Friends (who are family and with whom I exchange gifts) These usually end up being 12th night gifts:
Trudi- I have an idea but I can't say, 'cause she reads this. (started)
Marian- Ditto above (got materials and a plan)
Jay- I have NO idea!
Candy- I have materials and a plan but she also reads this.
Lukas- Shark blanket
PJ- Dragon blanket
