I love making things for little people and when I get a photo of them playing with the things or cuddling under a blanket it is really nice :)Veronikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355072950243739240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360891399253850627.post-92108562442492768992018-05-11T15:30:29.890+10:002018-05-11T15:30:29.890+10:00Wow, how lucky is she!

I also worry about how much looking after the knitted gift needs too, if the recipient isn’t interested/able to be hand washing and blocking pure wool then something, for example in cotton would be a better choice for them in a handmade gift. Time is certainly something I really consider carefully, as you said, the knitters’ enjoyment in making the gift has to be an important factor in decision making, starting early for Christmas I personally recommend �� Best wishes, Amanda R ��Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360891399253850627.post-23040494877419716652018-05-08T16:25:31.031+10:002018-05-08T16:25:31.031+10:00Thank you for this post.

I'm worried that they will not be recieved well because they are handmade as that I'm giving something that I didn't have to pay for. I do get that sort od feeling from some people and I'm never ever giving them a handmade gift EVER :o) If they can't see the true value, then they'll get a bottle or flower :o) <br />So yes, I'm giving a handmade gifts this year, every year, but I'm choosing very carefuls to whom I'm giving them.<br /><br />Anja http://anja-drobtinice.blogspot.si/Anjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574548358886904411noreply@blogger.com
