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.

@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==

@kurobita @thegiddystitcher When I was on holiday in Iceland last summer, I went into a Christmas shop in Reykyavik, THE Christmas shop! They had lots of tiny little sweaters and hats knitted with Icelandic wool with patterns as Christmas ornaments...and tiny knitted figures of all kinds too...it was SO cute!
