First, my brother told me over instant messager that he knew of one thing he wanted for sure, so I told him he'd better not dare tell anyone else and I bought it online in the midst of the conversation. I'm crocheting scarves for everyone in my family- My grandmother's is done, my mom's is done, my dad's is half done, my sister's is started, my brother's is not, my brother-in-law's, haven't even found a color of yarn yet. I will very probably be able to finish all these in time, but I have no idea if they'll like the colors or not, I may also be fucked. Though my boss' nine year old daughter did point out to me that as long as I showed them I loved them they'd be happy.
So: Book and scarf for mon frere (he lives in Barcelona, I don't think he'll have much use for the scarf but it's one of those things you kind of have to do for everyone if you're going to do it for one person, because a hand made scarf can be viewed either as a cop out or a really cool thing, depending on the attitudes of the gift-receivers on that particular day), gift certificates for my parents and my sister and brother in law for restaurants of which they are respectively fond, and, yes, scarves. My fiance and I are getting each other kittens and kitten-having accessories.
My nephew, as well as the kittens, do not get scarves, as they will be of an age where a scarf could well strangle them, and the kittens would probably prefer the yarn un-crocheted. I think I may buy my nephew some manner of toy to chew on, as I think he's teething. I'll probably get my fish a wee plant. He does seem bored. |
