I'd do it but I'd only be making hand knit items so that kind of limits people who don't want any hand knit items. It could also end up being sent after Christmas if the requested item(s) are more time involved.

Honestly hand-knit things would be cool, but I know how time consuming that can be.

It really depends on the item and if it is clothing, the size of the person. Sweaters are out, and so are socks if the person has a big foot. Scarves, hats, fingerless gloves, slippers, teapot/french press cozies, some bags, wine cozies, cat toys, and things like that are more doable.

I'm totally knitting a Dalek and maybe a Tardis for my bff because she is a Dr. Who nerd. Since they are stuffed it isn't too crazy since it is just a knit shell. EXTERMIKNIT!

You are amazing.

I don't suppose those patterns are online are they? That might be enough to get me to pick my needles back up! (Once I find them, they're packed somewhere)

Yes, if one is a member of www.ravelry.com and many are free. There are lots of other patterns like socks, hats, and towels, one labeled as EXFOLIATE, haha.

I am a member! I've just been lazy. I'll have to work on it. I'm still a knitting novice, and my last project was delayed by me and then ended because the person I was knitting for passed away.

One of the yarn stores in Coeur d'Alene is selling Harry Potter stitch markers, you know you want a set. I'm trying to forgive them for selling Boise is not a State bluorange sock yarn without offering Vandal yarn in proximity to the Vandal Nation, and their coupon is kind of helping.

Are you planning to frog the yarn and make something for yourself with that project?
