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 😄
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!
My LYS released a kit to knit the tiniest sweater ornaments, I thought it was stinkin' cute, I'll probably try that next year, because I already had my gifts planned. My usual strategy for the holidays is to gift the same thing for friends, coworkers, acquaintances and such. Usually somehting handmade and a little bit customised. I put more thought on birthday presents. Last year I made tiny succulent planters from coffe mugs.
This year I got some keychains with initials from Aliexpress and I plan to embellish them with macrame and maaaaybe add a tiny amigurumi figure for close friends.
Ugh the planter idea is so cute 🥺 Wish my friends appreciated handmade stuff more haha

@kurobita I am thinking of making these for our holiday tree, and if it goes well they might be a gift for someone next year https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz3oGGWL9d-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
