Handmade Gifts

~C~ 

Hi Everybody! I hope you are having a good day!

Today I am going to be talking about one of my biggest hobbies... Knitting! I love to knit! in the spring,summer,fall,winter whatever I love it!

With Christmas just around the corner I have a lot of knitting to do! I make blankets, scarves, boot cuffs, hats and I'm learning some new things to make as well! I might put up some patterns for some things later on but right now I am super busy so it will be a few weeks.

People LOVE handmade gifts! The person who gives it to them actually had to take the time to make it and had them in mind. Don't get me wrong we all love store bought gifts too but there is something about the sense of accomplishment that comes when you have made something to give.

For example: My great-grandmother loves blankets! I made her a blanket last year for Christmas... She LOVES that thing! She tells me it feels as if I'm giving her a big hug everyday.  Not only is it extremely special for me to see my great-grandmother to love and use something that I put so much time, thought and effort into but special to her to think that someone hand made it for her.

So this Christmas if you can't think of what to get somebody make them something. You might say "I don't have time" Grab a some paper and make them a nice card. It will mean a lot to them!


Until next time!
