Christmas Future

Any holiday is based on things from the past, we expect certain foods or decorate because of memories. The things we make now will form the fabric of the future. That special person will remember you ever time that scarf, hat, socks are used. Homemade stocking are a reminder though the season of a special friend that is there in spirit to share this time of family and friends. I have been designing some small stockings for my sister with the thoughts of the grand kids in mind.

The books and magazines are out on the table to help get some ideas. The Debbie Macomber Friendship Shawl has some nice ideas for a quick gift, there are several knit on large needles (9, 10, etc). http://www.debbiemacomber.com/ that might be a thought. Interweave Press Knits Holiday Gifts and Knit Simple Holiday 2008 just came in to also inspire me.
