Ten Gift ideas to Knit for Christmas - Blogmas Day 6

Hello Friends,


Happy Friday! I hope you had a good week. It is such a fun time of the year to knit gifts for others. I always feel inspired to knit up gifts and have knitted socks, scarves, ornaments, and finger-less mitts in past years as gifts. I didn't really have a plan to knit anything as gifts this year but I thought if a fun and quick project comes along, I might knit them as stocking stuffers or some quick knitted gifts. I love knitting for others and Christmas is a wonderful time of the year to knit for those I care about. I found ten gift ideas on Ravelry. I will pick one or two ideas from the list and will knit it and share a post about in another upcoming Blogmas post.


1. Grrlfriend Market Bag - Knit this market bag for a friend or loved one, to carry their belongings or for groceries. Pattern on Ravelry by Laura Spradlin.

2. Tiny parlour cat. These would be adorable for a cat lover in your life. I am thinking of myself and also my parents. I think these would be so cute to pop into someone's stocking for Christmas. Pattern is on Ravelry and written by Sara Elizabeth Kellner.

3. Merry fair isle ornaments. These ornaments are so perfect to knit up to put on the Christmas tree. They would also make great gifts to tie onto gift bags or to knit up a couple as a gift itself. The pattern is from Ravelry by Yarnspirations Design Studio.

4.  Santa's reindeer coaster. These reindeer coasters are so adorable and would be so fun to knit and gift to loved ones this holiday season. They can enjoy them around Christmas this year and more to come. The Pattern is from Ravelry by Mountain Majesty Designs for $4.00 USD.

6. Chunky basket. These baskets are perfect for someone who wants some extra storage baskets with a beautiful knitted look. This pattern by Elizabeth Pardue can be found on Ravelry.

7. Woolly Cacti. These cacti are fun and a good way to have the look of plants without the maintenance. Gift one of these to a friend or family member who would like to have a decorative knitted cactus with no watering required. The pattern can be found on Ravelry by Lucille Randall.

8. Earbud pouch. These work so well to keep your earbuds from getting all tangled up in your purse or bag. Knit one for someone who complains about the tangling and they will be grateful for the organization. The pattern can be found on Ravelry by Mary Keenan. I knitted one for myself and love it.

9. Headband with a twist. This headband would make a great gift and keep someone's ears warm this winter and look stylish at the same time. The pattern is on Ravelry by Mirella Moments.

10. Cable braided necklace. I think this necklace is lovely and it would make such a fun gift. The pattern is on Ravelry by Olga Buraya-Kefelian.

Finished Knitted Candy Cane Scarf & My Christmas Wishlist - Blogmas Day 4

Hello Friends,


I hope you are doing well. I finished knitting the candy cane scarf this week. The pattern is found on Ravelry by Kristen Retigg. I enjoyed this pattern because it was simple, repetitive, and I could relax and knit it while watching TV. It is also a fun festive scarf for this time of the year. You can find the pattern on Ravelry here. I used size 9 US 5.50 mm straight needles and Red Heart Supersaver yarn in red and white to complete the project.

I am still reading Better Than Before by Gretchen Rubin and learning a lot about habits.  Next up is The Testaments by Margaret Atwood. I am really looking forward to reading this book. I love watching The Handmaid's Tale it is such an amazing show, so I am also interested in reading  Margaret Atwood's version of how the story would unfold.

My Christmas Wishlist

I wrote a short list of some of the things I would like this year. I had a couple of books and a few other things but I think there is always more to want and ask for when we start thinking of a list and looking online. Of course Christmas is about giving and I really enjoy giving others gifts at this time of the year. I love to see their reactions to gifts I am excited to give them it is so much fun. So below are 8 gifts I would like to receive for Christmas this year.

1. Happy Planner classic size. All year I love to sit down on a Sunday and plan for the week ahead. It helps me to plan and be more organized to achieve my goals and I love using the stickers and washi tape to design fun layouts. I really like this planner that says "its your year to shine" in the vertical layout.

2.  Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope by Mark Manson. I see this book at Indigo and I think it would be an interesting read.

3. Necklace from Gigimey with the lotus flower engraving.
I bought one of these beautiful necklaces but in silver color for my mom years ago and she loves it. I would love one as well. Gigimey is a jewelry store on Etsy and they sell many necklaces and bracelets and also do engravings and customization. I  really like their delicate and simple necklaces.

4. Fresh Enchanted Essentials Gift Set. 
I have heard good things about this brand of skin care products and there is a lovely set at Sephora I would love the receive.

5. Sims University expansion pack.
I love playing sims 4 and the University expansion pack came out last month. It is such a fun game and I really enjoyed the University expansion pack from Sims 2 so I think this one would be fun too.

6. 750 Knitting stitches: The Ultimate Knit Stitch Bible by Erika Pavilion books. I love learning new stitches and had done a new stitch each week on my blog for awhile it was fun to learn new stitches there are so many but I didn't know there were 750 + stitches to learn. This book would be fun to use to learn a new stitch or two each week next year.

7.  DAVIDs TEA
I love recieving tea for Christmas and love DAVIDs TEA it is so good and once and awhile I treat myself to getting some but mostly receive them as gifts. What is better than heating up some tea for the afternoon and enjoying a cup while reading or knitting?

8. Cross stitch set from Indigo. These look so fun to learn a new hobby and learn something new. I like how Indigo has so many interesting gifts for Christmas.
