Beautiful gifts from generous friends! I love your idea of a gift to yourself of personal knitting. Happy Holidays!🧶🎅🎄

Thanks for spending some time with me 💕 I hope you get lots of fun knitting opportunities as well ❣️🧶

[@germaineglaves7437]

I decided this year that I would just make accessories (hats, mittens,cowls,etc.) and bring them out at Christmas so that the kids and grandkids can pick what they wanted. We’ll see how it goes. Way less pressure because I just knit what inspired me (pattern, fibre or both). I love your patterns, Nancy!

[@knitsiphappy]

That's a brilliant idea Germaine 💡 A smorgasbord of knitting 🧶🧶 Thank you for spending some time with me ❣️

I love your attitude towards your knitting, I’d really lost my knitting mojo, as I was putting a lot of pressure on myself. Now I’m back to knitting for pleasure, not because I feel I need too. I hope you feel better soon, and can take some time for yourself, I don’t need to tell you how important it is. SADS is a real issue, so take care.🤗🤗big hugs from Australia .

Your Field Sweater is gorgeous... that color on you is perfect. I am furiously knitting on family Xmas gifts even though I started on and off back in July. Thanks so much for your honesty about having to be more social than is naturally comfortable for you. I often feel the same. You are one of my most favorite podcasters...so thank you and Happy Holidays!

I am working furiously to finish up the third sweater for my nephew's sons for Christmas. I would love to enjoy the bag and socks for some selfish December knitting.

Thanks my friend for hanging out with me as I try and get a few projects off of my needles. I wish December was all selfish knitting … 🤪

Love all your amazing sock knits, I am knitting a fingering shawl as a gift and crocheted 4 blankets as well for gifts. Once that's all done might knit myself a sweater of some sort .
