Knitting is back
So, last night Gray and I were going around Target looking for some good gifts for the family. We’re trying to be frugal and creative with our gift giving and we started talking about ideas. Somehow, we came upon the fact that I once knitted a scarf. When I was a sophomore in college, my roommate Mandy taught me how to knit a scarf.
We had a great idea that I could re-learn to knit the scarf (and maybe other things as well) and give them as Christmas presents! I can’t believe we didn’t think of this sooner.
So last night I got online to look up instructions, seeing as it’s been four plus years since I knitted the last time. I had to get Gray, my husband, to help me because the pictures and instructions were awful! It’s a good thing I remembered some of it! Anyway, after like thirty minutes of frustrations, I’m finally back to knitting and we’ll see how it goes. I’m a little rusty.
What are some ways your trying to be frugal for the holidays?
I am making little gift basket things for the family, with fun stuff from germany! its cheap and unique! i posted some pictures of the snow we are getting, it won't stop!! lol.
Kaylee » I can totally see you complaining in a few months when it doesn't stop. JK
I saw the pictures and I'm totally jealous. They said it "snowed" here the other morning, but let's face it, it wasn't enough to stick around.
That's an awesome gift idea and I'm sure your family will love it.
