gift giving solved

We draw names in my extended family for Christmas gift giving. This has been such a fun tradition and I think we all enjoy shopping for one great gift for someone rather than stressing over buying for everyone.
This year, Shawn and I have Christie and Jon (my sister and brother-in-law). We were really stressing over what to get them until I found this great pattern on Ravelry! Oh and then as an added bonus, we'll do a photo shoot so they can show them off...

Jon's birthday is on Christmas day and it's really not cool to give one gift for both, so I think this will do. I really like that these are sweaters that you can tuck in to your pleated pants. Genius...

See you soon, Jon and Christie!

  1. Wow. All I can say is, I'm glad that your knitting skills haven't yet progressed to the level that you can whip up bulky sweaters with ease.

  4. Didn't Christy have glasses like that at some point in her past? If they get the sweaters, I think they need the hair styles to match.
