It’s time to start thinking of the holidays, all the food, family and traditions. We have taken the Handmade Pledge this year, which if you aren’t familiar with it, it is a pledge to buy handmade during the holidays and request others get you handmade gifts. It’s pretty cool. We have compiled a list of simple gifts. You are sure to find something for everyone here!
We will be adding to the list each week, You can also easily spot the gift ideas by the little present icon in the corner of the technical drawing on the pattern list.

Oooooo! I can’t wait to see the men’s cardigan! And the hat and mittens. I’m crocheting some fingerless gloves right now. It’d be cool to make a hat to match it. :)

When you post the bow tie pattern, could you also post a how-to on how to tie a bow tie?? :D

Hoping against hope, will there be at least one plus-size garment on the Xmas list? We also wear nice clothing and “gasp” go out for fun. It would be equitable to produce one dress, top jacket for us. Nehmah
