Welcome to the jungle club

Hi all!

I’m a new knitter (as in 2 months old), but I’m really enjoying it so far. I usually make everyone gifts anyways, starting about this time of the year so I can be done by Thanksgiving. But this is the first year I’ve ever planned to knit anything…so who knows if this is too much. I guess if it is, I’ll be handing out pictures and I.O.U’s….

Here’s my list so far:

A scarf (due in September) and a sweater with a felted bag for my mother
2 sweaters for my dad (his birthday is in Dec too…)
1 hat for my brother
1 pair of socks for his girlfriend
1 jacket with felted bag for my niece
1 pair of gloves for my cousin
For my aunt and another cousin, a scarf each
1 poncho for a friend
1 felted bag for a friend
4 tanks for four friends (they live in sunny, warm places year round)
1 sweater for another friend
(hmm, maybe I have too many friends?)

And that’s not including the *ahem* 14 things I want to do for myself. But I figure if I work on one for me, and one from my list, then I’ll get them done. Now to get started…
