Holiday madness
It's nearly July, and that means that for crafty people, it's time to start thinking about the December holidays! And by December I'll have another neice to think about, too.
I'm planning to do my usual canning at the end of the summer to get the chutneys and such done. Surprisingly, my mother-in-law loved the cherry rum preserves, so I may make that again. I'll also continue the candy making that I did last year. Not only was it a lot of fun, but people seemed to enjoy getting something different. And Jeff can help with candy making more than with cookies, which is nice.
I've already started one scarf with some recycled yarn, and I think I'll have enough to add a hat to it. And maybe at least trim on some store-bought gloves to make a set. That's for a sister-in-law.
For the kiddos, I'm thinking they'll get one sweater each, plus a toy. They'll all be getting plenty of stuff from their grandparents anyway.
The women are easy: a shrug, a bag, a poncho, a scarf and hat set ... it's the men that are difficult to make for. Hats and scarves for some of them, but not all of them. Anybody got any ideas?

What about those mittens that have tops that flip back to reveal fingerless gloves? Or do men not wear mittens?
Intentional or not, I'm glad you refer to the "December holidays" (although hanukkah has arrived as early ast November before.)
Good idea, but I think most men that I know, at least, don't wear mittens. Silly things!
And it was intentional. I dislike when people assume I'm a Christian. I celebrate a holiday in December out of respect for tradition and, well, because I like getting presents and people are usually handing them out around December. :)
What about some fulled wool slippers? Those could be nice and manly, in a warm way. :)
Lap blanket? Beanie cap? Socks? BBQ Mitt?
This has nothing to do with your post, but I just noticed Christopher Moore fan eh????? Me too!
