(no subject)

This morning, I finally got around to doing something I've meant to do for a while, which is send out a survey to my immediate family asking them what kind of knitted gifts they'd actually be interested in receiving, as well as color preferences, etc. I wasn't, at the time, thinking about gift giving for this year - it's just good information to generally have.

Except that then they all sent me responses and I had fun reading them and I realized that everybody I had sent the survey to had said they would enjoy getting a knitted hat. I can absolutely knit five* worsted-weight hats between now and Christmas, plus I already have a list of what colors people like!

So I ordered yarn in lots of exciting colors and, basically, that's everyone's Christmas/Yule shopping done. Plus, I have a start on next year, with more run up time to make more complicated and varied stuff, since I already know everybody's preferences.





*I mean, I am also probably going to knit myself a hat. But that one will be last.
