They still use them and ask for more.<BR/><BR/>This year I'm doing ceramics. I even have the kids making gifts for their teachers.

Have been working on a vest for my daughter's doll for months.

My gift to my family this year is baked goods for the week I am with them. I am baking a test batch of chocolate rum balls this evening.<BR/><BR/>I love scarves/mitten sets. Since I do not wear hats I would love something that would just cover my ears (4-6 Inches long). <BR/><BR/>If you made these with the scarf, Reihaishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667891019180359894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-5078170466981427062008-12-06T05:51:00.000-08:002008-12-06T05:51:00.000-08:00Jenny, I never thought of hot water bottle covers-...Jenny, I never thought of hot water bottle covers--that's a great idea!

They are my favorite thing in the kitchen! She knits them as she listens to stories on tape/cd or watching TV. She just hands them out to anyone requesting them--which we all have gotten hooked (ha) on them.<BR/><BR/>I am thinking I'm going to have to learn to make them as someday she Crystal Lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284296811544392777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-91285371007512127402008-12-05T03:26:00.000-08:002008-12-05T03:26:00.000-08:00When i was in Canada I bought some of the dishclot...When i was in Canada I bought some of the dishcloths that are knitted or crocheted. they are wonderful dishclothes and I love them.<BR/>I dont think your cheap just practicle and you are giving of yourself.<BR/>also if its colder and people use hot water bottles you can knit covers for them. mum knits dolls blankets with animals on them.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.com
