(18,312 posts)I'm a fan of not buying things for people because that leaves less money for me buying things for me, so I make a lot of christmas things. LOTS.
Like the time I made cookies for everyone. That was a big hit. not. Apparently I didn't wrap each cookie individually in gossamer tears of virgin puppies so some of the cookies broke en-route and it was like the cookie holocaust OH MY GOD THE COOKIE HAS A CRACK IN IT DEAR CHRIST WHAT WILL WE EVER DO WITH A BROKEN COOKIE? It was like blood tears were streaming from everyone's eyes at the thought of broken cookies. I'm like "uh, yeah, anyone think of putting it on ice cream or just EATING A BROKEN COOKIE?"
too late. The damage had been done. The cookies were broken and so were the hearts and dreams of everyone I was related to by marriage.
So I said "fuck y'all muh'fuckers' and started knitting. And crocheting. An that means SCARVES FOR EVERYONE yes even you people who live in Florida.
Last year it was Afghans. By hand. TONS of them. Like 30 tons of yarn.
Mr. Heddi's like "yanno, you can, like, buy a blanket for less than this yarn costs...plus the time it takes" and I'm like SHUT UP as I hold a sharpened stitch holder to his throat and try to talk myself out of shanking him with my fancy handle bamboo croshay hooks.
