What's on Your Holiday List?

Okay, we all know I can't crochet, but here is my list of knitted Christmas items:

At least 5 Christmas stockings, maybe 7 if the great nephew twins come early. Only 1 is almost finished.

Hats for my boys.

Socks for DH.

Targis socks for my DDIL, as she is a huge Doctor Who fan.

Right now I'm hoping to finish the stockings!

Inspired by Cheryl's heirloom stockings I think I will make this Snowman Stocking, for my sons as a keepsake from me and maybe niece and nephew. (my brother's children). Pattern is by Kathy Wesley and url can be found on Ravelry's pattern database.

Oh, that is a really cute one! It is so much fun to start a family tradition.

I need to have some dental work done, but I keep spending my money on fiber.

I'd rather spend it on fiber, too. :-)

I'm playing/creating a round yoke, topdown pullover and the colorwork(and Tapestry crochet bug bit me again)...so I got inspired to think about gifts for male recepients. Not sure I can swing it this year, maybe next year's holiday presents.

A tapestry bear (have graph) hat or scarf ...or deer head(have graph) or fish(catfish/bass). If you've seen any crochet charts that can be used to make tapestry crochet items that appeal to the manly man, please share.

I'm anxious to see your creations.

I created a pattern for a sweater that makes the crochet stripes go up and down instead of across, with a "V" neck. Was pretty. Gave it to my sis because she has a wider rib cage, and smaller hips. *sigh* I guess there's still some tweaking to do on it.

Adding a piggie keychain to my list to make for the holidays. .Eldest son and gf bought a black piggie some time ago, it's the kind people have as pets...can't think of what they are called. Katie would luv that.

Starting on some of my holiday gifts today. :-)

It's a Vietnamese pot bellied pig. And I really can't imagine what people see in them... *shudder* But to each his own I guess! (:

That's it. Pot bellied Pig. Brain had a freeze up. He's pretty entertaining. Loves scraps. Does not like to be touched. He lives outdoors in his own piggie yard.
