Christmas is coming... are you wishing to be creative?

As I sat and worked on my sale items last night, I couldn't help think of Christmas approaching at a pretty brisk clip.  The months seem to be picking up speed towards the season of giving, and if you are anything like me, you will need to have your gift projects selected and already in progress in order to actually complete them before Christmas.

In case you were needing some inspiration, I thought I would share some of my favorite links here on the net.
All these links have free patterns, some very good ones too.  Many of the yarn sites have tutorials and stitch instructions.  Some sites have multiple crafts, some are specific to one or two types.  Hope you see something useful in these links.... and happy crafting!
