Then, my thought was I would make hats to match the scarves I made for each of my parents. My problem is that I knit very tight and haven't gotten accustomed yet to checking my gauge. So these hats are probably going to be gifts for kids because they are so small. My second attempt at each hat was much better. Here are the folks with their gifts.
Pops loved his set. He was elated that it was hand made by me.
Mom got a kick out of the fact that there were tiny pieces of animal hair. So the animals also contributed.Christmas was very nice and relaxing at my parents house. I did feel bad though that they had way more for me than I had for them. It's hard to show your parents how much you love them, how much they mean to you, and how thankful you are for all they've done for you. But I have a feeling I gave them a little taste of that when they saw their gifts were handmade with love and a lot of time was put into them.
There was a very cute and funny moment that started off as a little irritating for me. I had put another present for my mom in the same box as as the scarf hat set. As soon as she saw the gift, she started laughing and getting excited more about that then the set. I started feeling offended that she appreciated the store bought item more than all my hard work. Well, at the end turns out she was so caught up on that because she had gotten me the same exact thing.
