Christmas Knitting

As the school term finally draws to an end this Friday, I decided to get underway with my plans for some knitted gifts for family and friends. As it is summer in Australia this time of year, I find it difficult to come up with knitted gifts because are they are generally for cold weather, although where I live, it doesn't hurt to have a couple of extra scarves.

So far, I am planning to knit 2 Elisa's nest totes and a Tilted Duster from Interweave Fall 07. Being the super organized person I am (not really), I have already bought the yarn:

Moda Vera bamboo cotton

Some more Moda Vera Bamboo/cotton for the string totes.

Tilted Duster from Interweave Knits Fall 07

My progress on the Tilted duster. The back has been completed. I am knitting with 12ply Rustic in a steely blue/grey called Delta from the Bendigo Woollen Mills.

What are your plans for knitted gifts this year?

No one appreciates my knitted gifts but me, I'm afraid. *emo tearz* . I might knit a few people some fingerless gloves (always useful) but that's about it.
