Let's talk holiday knitting solutions

It is December 22nd.
There are only three days left to the deadline.
You may have more knitting than time.
...but in the words of Douglas Adams: "DON'T PANIC!!!"

Situation: Giving hand knitted socks.
Problem: Only one sock done.

Solution: Wrap that sock with a note that reads:

A)"Other sock hidden. Find it if you can."

B)"Other sock to be finished soon."

Situation: Giving a hand knit item to a fellow knitter who has the same tension as you do.

Problem: Item is half done.

Solution: Wrap item, yarn, and needles.

Situation: Giving a hand knit item to a new knitter.

Problem: You bought the pattern, yarn, and needles. No actual knitting has begun.

Solution: Wrap item, yarn, and needles along with a note. The note reads: "This gift comes with free knitting lessons."

Situation: Giving a hand knit item.

Problem: You have yet to buy the yarn and needles. No actual knitting has begun.

Solution: Wrap the pattern in an envelop and decorate with Christmas stickers. Tuck in a note which reads: "This will soon be yours. Come yarn shopping with me. (Give selection of dates) Shopping to be followed by tea and baking at your favourite restaurant.

Main thing: Relax. Kick back. Grab your needles. Remember: life is to enjoy.

Note: Sorry that I was so late posting this. You see the little wire which links Mayne Island to the rest of the world fell victim to mighty Mother Nature. She blew and she blew and she blew it away. What did I do: I relaxed. Kicked back. Grabbed my needles. And remembered: life is to enjoy. ( ...don't ask my hubby.) The good news about the weather is that it is very warm. By that I mean, think Spring not Summer.
