It sucks the life right out of you. I'm knitting a Moderne Log Cabin blanket. Trust me on this one. As for teacher gifts, I can't help. I knit too damn slowly to consider that option. Fortunately, I can knock off a couple of decent pens on my lathe in an evening. :o) (yes, I realize that doesn't help you at all. I did warn you) Rule number one: Do Not count the remaining stitches.

Cop out I know but I have a serious time mangement problem. But if you want to make a small gift Knit Picks has knitted christmas tree ornaments. I didn't look close at the pattern but thet could be an option. I already bought the teracher girts. they're getting kissing snowmen as they are really cute and were 50% off. I'm cheap too.

I knit 2 Irish Hiking Scarves last year for presents and was a decently quick/simple pattern and was appreciated by both the man (50 yo) and the girl (15 yo) I knit them for!

Fingerless gloves? I like the soap and "warshrag" idea, too. BTW, a box of black yumminess is en route to the Post Office as soon as I get my butt away from this computer! Oh, and that sweater is just what I am looking for..quick, you say? Wristers? Fingerless gloves? I like the soap and “warshrag” idea, too.

Of course Avery's science teacher is getting a moebius scarf 'cause I couldn't resist;) It’s all hats all the time this year for me!
