I'm just about done with mine.  Granted, I didn't have that much to do this year. I figure I had to give at least a year's break between knitted gifts for some folks.   Check out the cool pattern in the scarf I finished for

I love November.  We're finally firmly ensconced in Autumn, so the weather is cooler (at least most years).  My birthday comes mid-month, and I love gifts and going out for celebratory dinners and generally being fussed over.  Tha
