The saying goes; good things come in small packages. However, good things come in handmade packages. Taking the time to make something either by knitting or crocheting is a gesture of love and a commitment to the craft, but it takes time. That's why the time has come to grab your needles, ladies. We have some Christmas gifts to make. Starting your gifts in July is a fantastic way to ensure that you'll be finished by the time Santa's sleigh pulls up. It will also give you plenty of exciting projects to work on for the next couple of months.
