Hi, Knitters,
This week, Katie and I wanted to make some quick-knit gifts, so we each laid claim to some 50g cakes of worsted for gifty satisfaction.

I’m working on a Barley hat in Ringmaster Worsted for my niece. She’ll look adorable in this rainbow! I’m a big fan of Tin Can Knits; I love their simple patterns. This hat was cast on yesterday and should be finished by tomorrow.
Katie took her 50g cakes in a different direction; she’s designing her own mitten pattern! She’s using our new manly color, Mithrandir, to make some teen-sized mittens. The pattern will give you options for teen and adult sizes too!
Amy’s go-to gift knitting is Cat Bordhi’s Moebius Cowl pattern.
What gifty goodies are you knitting? We’d love to know..
Happy knitting,
Jaala

I just finished the Bunny from Susan’s Itty-Bitty Toys for my 15 month old (his older brother has the giraffe from the same book). That’s probably the only thing I’ve knit for gifts this year. I do need to have a look through the handknits bin to see what’s in there, figure out what can be donated/frogged, and plan accordingly. Someday.
