Hello Dear Friends! It's that time of year already, the time when gift-making is underway in my little world. The days seem to pass extra fast, bringing the holidays ever-quicker. Does it feel that way to you too? I love making gifts. I love the "slowness" of it in our hurry-scurry world. But, admittedly, there is a ticking timeline that adds some pressure to the process. So I've decided to pare down my annual
Handmade-Holiday-Gift-List this year.

The mitts I made for the teachers a
few years ago were such a big hit, that I decided to make a pair for Youngest's teacher this year...

Lovely ideas. Like the mitts. Fab idea. If I only have enough time....
You always come up with the cutest gift projects. Love these!
Yes, yes it's coming so fast this year and I have been working on gifts since January! Love the mitts and am now wondering if I should add them to my list?! :)
Just lovely dear Staci :) The colors in the dishcloths are wonderful!
Gorgeous gifts.
The waffle dishcloths are amazing, sure to be a great gift.
How lucky and blessed are those to be on your gift list. I always cherish a gift when someone has taken the time to put their heart into it and to make it. Love the wonderful waffle dishcloths........they have such a charm to them! The mitts and the lotion is just the most thoughtful gift! blessings,Kathleen
Lovely gifts that anyone would be thrilled to receive! I love the colors you used for the dishcloths. I love looking at everything you knit and it makes me determined to learn how to knit socks and mitts/mittens/gloves. :)
I love the dishcloths all tied up with happy ribbon. So cute.
Wishing you family a blessed holiday season and plenty of time to get all your gifts knit up.
Love your cute gifts, Staci :)
Handmade gifts are so special--would you believe I still have some of my sons' teachers mention to me how much they love the cross-stitched PS Santas I made for them years ago (and my sons are in their 20s!!).
Yes, the days do seem to pass by extra fast and the holidays seem to come quicker each year. I always love seeing what is on your HHGL each year. I'm always impressed by how many gifts you knit each year. Lucky recipients! :)
Both the dishcloths and the mitts are very pretty. I love the stripes. Maybe I will get motivated to knit some gifts myself. :)
Your homemade gifts ROCK! You're an inspiration. I plan to make most of mine this year. :)
I always admire your hand made gifts and the fancy presentation! They're all wonderful--great colors!
Great gifts
I always enjoy seeing pictures of your handmade Christmas gifts Staci! You always package them up so nicely!
I love the dish clothes. Great idea!
fab knitting finishes as always Staci xx
What lovely ideas. I love those dishcloths.
Staci,
I love your pictures. The washclothes are just scrumptious. Thanks for posting the link to the pattern. I have been neglecting my knitting for a while. This would be a great project for me to start back with. Have a great weekend!
Awesome gifts! I may have to knit up some of those great dishcloths:)
