Wow Christmas is just 5 months away and I have already started knitting one of my gifts. My Dad is getting a red cobblestone sweater and my Mom is getting a blue shawl. Her shawl is on the needles but I yet to knit a stitch but my Dad's in on the needles and I've knit about five inches. I have a couple of more projects planned but I just haven't narrowed down the patterns yet for my friends.
