As you might have noticed, I've recently fallen back in love with knitting. It's the combination of cold weather and a little tiny person for whom things knit up wonderfully quickly -- there's nothing like feeling you can finish a whole piece of clothing in a week or so!
And with my needles out and itching for new challenges, I've considered trying out this lovely way of wrapping a present:
Surely, it is just a large rectangle of stocking stitch that has been seamed at the back and the end? What a great way to make friends and family feel all woolly inside.
And for those that can't knit (or those us who can, but inevitably run out of time), there's a cheat: faux-knitted wrapping paper!
And, to write your message, faux-knitted cards!
Just, please, don't compare the knitting inside the present to the wrapping paper... you'll be sorely disappointed!
