Starting Point
Last year Nicole had the wonderful idea of posting her Knit Gift List, and asked me to do the same. Not only did it allow us both to share in the joys/hiccups/stories surrounding each other's adventures, it also allowed me to stay organized throughout the process. Plus, being able to cross things off the list and write DONE next to them was rather fun.
Considering what a nice experience it was, I've decided to do the same this year. Yes, I'm fully aware that it is still mid-July, there are 158 days to go, and the thought of Christmas this early may be sending shivers up your spine (not here - the thought of snow while in this 90-degree heat makes me rather happy). Yet let's be honest - I've been working on this stuff since nearly the beginning of May.
Without further adu, I present my Christmas Knit Gift List for 2008. Items on this list may change, and certainly items may be added as time moves forward.
