Are you starting to panic about what to get everyone for Christmas? I have some suggestions for you! I don’t consider myself a fast knitter, but I can usually make a hat or headband in under two hours. Some knit hat pattern ideas include the Hearts Aplenty Hat – there are also matching mittens if […]

Christmas biscotti

Christmas is only 2 days away. Are you ready? Or did you suddenly discover that someone important was left off your list? If so, I have a great idea for you: make some Christmas biscotti! You can wrap some up in a bag, tie with a ribbon, pair it with a container of good coffee […]
