Handmade Christmas Gifts

For the past two years I have really forced myself to be modest in my Christmas crafting plans. It's worked - the gifts have been completed, wrapped and under the tree on Christmas morning. This year, my two younger brothers were the recipients. The programmer got fingerless mitts (my frugal mom does not crank the heat up much in the winter). I LOVED how these turned out - they are Straightforward Mitts in KnitPicks Stroll Sport.

My youngest brother got a gift that combined one of his nerdy passions with one of mine.
