Now that our last burst of summer has gone from London I can now start to think about Christmas. I always find it a bit daunting thinking about how many presents there are to buy and for the past few years I've not crocheted anything. Sometimes a handmade gift is more appreciated than something bought as there is always a lot of time and effort that goes into making things regardless of the craft. Other times people think its the cheaper option but actually it can work out to be more expensive when you take into consideration material costs etc.
This year I'm only going to make a few things for selected friends and family and I'm planning to keep things fairly simple so there's no pressure on me to make loads of things in a short space of time (100 sleeps until Christmas I was told today!).
So far I've thought about making Mummy/Child hat and scarf sets, possibly a bag and then I'm pushing it a bit by considering a cardigan for my mother in law. Apart from children I've never made a clothing item for someone else so I'm going to leave that one for now and see how I get on with the others first!
I'll keep you update on my progress and yarn hauls over on Instagram!
Are you making anything for Christmas?
