Hi all! I'm a new(ish) knitter
and I'm always looking for inspiration. My goal is to give every person on my Christmas list a knitted gift (that's about 40 ppl, just family!!!)
Anybody have Pinterest or ravelry links they'd like to share? I'm ceresas on Ravelry (although I confess I don't use it to post my own projects; just to troll for patterns) and my Pin link is in my siggy!
Re: Hi all! I'm a new(ish) knitter
Welcome! I have the same username on Ravelry as I do here--I'll add you!
As far as patterns go, I don't have anything specific to suggest, since I don't know what your comfort level is, but little knitted Christmas ornaments are great for gifts. I made a bunch last year and have a few more in my queue if you want to troll those for ideas.
Hats and washcloths (maybe with a little decorative soap) also make nice, quick Christmas gifts.

Thanks for the ravelry add! I'll definitely troll the queue
I'm thinking about making this soap sack and my own soaps. It's a fairly quick gift, and I love my soap sack!
I'm just getting started on dpn. Mainly I've just knitted cloths, cotton grocery bags, and a few pairs of fingerless gloves on straight needles.
HI! I'm liz09 on ravelry if you want to add me. I don't update often though.
Also, I agree that ornaments are a great gift!
Um... this is a fantastic idea! (only i'd have to do Starbucks since we don't have DD in Colorado) I'm totally and shamlessly steeling it
