ideas?
i was just thinking today that i need to start working on any presents i want to knit this year for christmas. i started thinking about it when i found out a co-worker got successfully knocked up (i think she and her husband started talking about trying again last week, seriously), but now i need some ideas for things that are fun, or things you would be stoked to get as a gift. keep in mind that i'm a so-so knitter; i can do socks, and i can do some hard stuff, but am still real bad at fair isle/intarsia. i'm especially stumped about what to possibly make the girlchild. she'll be 11, she's not super girly but she does enjoy kittens and puppies, and her favorite movie lately has been mallrats. i have a feeling the girlchild might be hard to shop for at least for the next few years....

Can't help you with the girlchild, but I recently saw a book called "Pet Projects" that's got knitting patterns for all kinds of pets - so if you know someone who's got a pet, you could knit them something for their animal... Anyways, here it is on amazon.

A hat and scarf has always been my favorite. Granted, unless they send me back to MN next winter I don't actually need a hat and scarf here in AZ. I would suggest you use that soft and fuzzy yarn in her favorite color...
Any gnome lovers in your posse? My daughter made me this iPod holder for Mutha's Day and I LOVE HIM!
