Book of Christmas gift ideas

by

Christmas is coming and I plan to make at least some of my gifts this year. To that end, I have been checking out books that focus on holiday gifts and I happened upon Holiday Knits by Sara Lucas and Allison Issacs:

Everything in the book looks so pretty: the book has clear instructions to follow, beautiful pictures, and patterns for everything from ornaments to the ubiqutous hat and scarf set are in this book.

Here are a few images that caught my eye:

soft-as-a-cloud baby booties: All I need to do is find a baby to knit these for.

083.jpg
old-fashioned christmas stocking: I would love to make a set of these stockings for a couple of families I know.

winter placemats: My family doesn’t use placemats regularly but I bet if we had pretty ones like this one, we would!

If you’d like to see more patterns for pretty projects that range from short term to long term in nature, get yourself a copy of Holiday Knits!
