You are either a Holiday knitter or not. Not many people fall in between.
Many knitters are at some point a 'Holiday' knitter and toil feverishly for months and late into the night only to get a 'Meh, I don’t really wear hats' or 'I’m so sorry I have a wool allergy" (serious cop out BTW, most people who think they have a wool allergy do not, but that shall be left for another day). This can lead to all sorts of knee jerk reactions. I say it’s just a learning process, learning who you should and should not knit for. You’ll figure it out and dwindle down that list.
On the other end of the spectrum we were told by a customer recently that a relative said ' I know you don’t have much money this year, so why don’t you just knit me something' ………Pause…..deep breath. Non-knitters don’t understand and I feel badly for them ; )
Enjoy your holiday knitting and remember the joy it is giving you to produce beautiful gifts that are jam packed full of love. Ho, ho Yarnnnnn Ho!

ReplyDeleteI'm definitely not a holiday knitter, for exactly those reasons. The list of people who I'll knit for is very short :)
