Your Friends at Knitty City

This is one of Pearl's Favorite Quotes and it seems particularly apt at this time of year when many of us feel fortunate  to be experiencing the good feelings that permeate the air as we bustle to and fro collecting good things to share.  At Knitty City, we are oftn made aware of some of the good things that others are doing to share their good fortune.  So, we'll start by giving you a few ideas along those lines.

Along with all your warm and cozy Holiday  thoughts may well be a need for ideas for the perfect Holiday gifts for your friends - knitters and not - and family.  With that in mind, we thought we'd start this week's post with a little  thought on gifts that can go either way.  The not-so-seasonable picture above  is the front of a tote bag that flew out of the store as fast as it came in.  We were fortunate to secure some more - in time for the gift giving  holidays.
