Winter's coming, let's start those handicraft projects.
I'm knitting gloves and a matching hat for my son, I just crocheted myself a hat, and I'm crocheting a shopping bag from twine. I haven't planned any huge handicraft projects though, like the year that I knit a blanket over the course of two months.

What have you all got planned?

3. right now
I'm working on Christmas stockings for me and DH. I am also making a Mobius scarf for a friend.

I just got a gift certificate to the yarn store for my birthday. I have to finish the stuff I'm working on now before I decide what to do with it. I should probably make something for the baby.

10. Please I have done them all and I am going to read.
My last winter thing turned in to college and over 20 years selling art. I can not do anything half way.If I start something I just go over the edge about it.
