What sort of holiday gifts are you knitting this year? (lemm.ee)

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!

@thegiddystitcher fingerless mittens mostly. They’re not widely available in shops and people who work from home but want to cut heating costs really appreciate them

@thegiddystitcher also they’re fun to make and I can use different patterns for each so they’re never boring

I definitely need to get on with some of these for myself tbh, exactly for working-at-home purposes, they really are very handy and a really cool gift. Starting to lose track of who's had what gifts over the years but I think everyone sadly has at least one pair of mitts from me already 😂
