What'cha's knitting for christmas???

[knitpurlgurl]

I have a thing for knitting socks for my mom for Christmas and I need to find some yarn that I want to use. Mom is allergic to wool so I may try Bamboo this time and see how she does with those.

Can she wear Alpaca? I've heard of some wool-allergic people being able to wear Alpaca without problems.

I'm doing lots of knitting for C-mas.
OTN: Lace Scarf for SIL in lavendar Malabrigo 2 ply the pattern is Dragon Scale Scarf by Bad Cat Designs.

I'm also going to do another one in dark teal for the other SIL

MIL: undecided but probably the same scarf in a different color

FIL: undecided
3 BIL: undecided
nephew: undecided, maybe an ornament for his first c-mas
DH's aunt: dish cloths
DD1: scarf and fingerless gloves
DD2: scarf and try a felted bag
DH: socks

Friends: dish cloths and a jar of jelly

I'd also love to crochet some ornaments and use as the ribbons for each persons gift. I'm being very ambitious this year. I just hope that everyone appreciates the effort and time I'm putting into it this year.

I am knitting 12 pairs of Fiber Trend Clogs.... wanted to give them as "felt them yourself", but I know they won't. So I know their sizes.... don't you think I can get them close enough? If they're a little small, they will stretch and I can include felting instructions just in case they are too big.

Would like to do some shopping bags too, but I probably won't get to them
