It's crunchtime.

I've gone entirely handmade for gifts this year. I think the only thing I bought were 2 reusable travel mugs, to gift with certificates to a locally-owned coffeeshop, to 2 folks I know who are addicted to their lattes and chais. :)

Otherwise it was knitted gifts, homemade jellies or liqueurs, dried herbs, and such. I was totally stumped as to what to make for one person, until this morning, when I decided to make this Hot Damn afghan, knit on gynormous needles. Unfortunately that means I had to buy acyrlic yarn. But i know for a fact this person would not like natural fibers, so...it had to be done. Now I have, what, 3 days to knit it?

Wish me luck.

I also think I'm going to make this hot chocolate mix, which sounds pretty damn divine, I think. Nom nom.
