A couple of years ago I started this tradition. I have 3 granddaughters and I made 4 sets of matching mitts, toques and scarves. I dumped them of the floor for each to choose one - their mother took the 4th.
I have continued this practice each year, doing those small Items in yarns that appeal to me and I have added pencil thrumm to the mitts.
There are dressy scarves, long wool scarves, toques, neck warmers and moebius cowls. I scour the internet for patterns and the shops for yarn. It's fun since every item can be knitted so quickly. And they (now 5) enjoy the scramble.

That sounds like a fun idea!

I will be doing something similar for the 8 employees who report to me - making a bunch of identical things in different colors and letting them choose their favorite colors.

Great idea for your granddaughters. :thumbsup:

If you just scroll down to the bottom of the page, you'll see the reply box with that message in it. I think you have to hit one of the reply buttons to actually enter text. I'm guessing that she hit the "submit post" button before over-typing that text.

This is an interesting discussion. thank you for sharing
