Countdown to Christmas: Luxe Neck Warmer

feather and fan Pictures, Images and Photos

I found this project over at Craftstylish and can't wait to try it. I think I'm getting my craft mojo back! (not that I've minded it's absence really since I've been busy at home)

I love this pattern and the fact that it uses just a bit of really yummy yarn to make a quick and lovely Christmas gift. I also love that it uses the feather and fan stitch pattern, my favorite.

My problem, though is that I have TOO many gifts for women and none not enough for men. I have ordered already a ton of skincare from my favorite yummy natural skincare companies and have a ton of crafty stuff to give away. But unless my men-folk are down with some organic face wash (and some are) then I'm stumped.

Last year I knitted my British father in law a hot water bottle cozy and that was great, but now what for this year? Maybe he needs a whole wardrobe for his water bottle? I can knit a new one each year? No...well, back to the drawing board then.

Fellow crafters: what do you make for the men in your life?
