Has anyone started, yet?I am almost finished a Lopi zip up cardigan for my GS but this is for his birthday , 3 days before Thingmas  But I am planning on knitting 2 Mrs Claus and 3 Santa's (Jean Greenhowe patterns) so I thought I would start when I've finished the cardigan 
Was wondering if anyone else has started, or how long your lists of 'to be knitted' are

I've only done the thinking part Janice
OK, some buying too 
I've got some swap things to make too, and 2 large items OTN that need to be done ASAP  Before I think of anything else.
Perhaps I'll have a change and buy prezzies this year - after all, how many scarves and shawls can a non-knitter wear?
Still glad it's a small family when it comes to Thingmas though.

I'm planning a few scarves as gifts, and want to make a stocking for Jackson too
I have a "my so called scarf" made but not decided who it will be for yet

Because of my prolonged recovery period and the possibility of further surgery I am planning to knit some christmas presents after all have to have something to do!
... have started on a jacket for GS3 and planning jackets/cardigans for GS1&2 and for GD and step-GD.
Will see how that goes if I have time perhaps scarf/shawl for my sister and neice.
All in the planning stages at present.

I have bought a skein of Wollmeise to make a baby cardi as part of my niece's Christmas present (spoilt baby!)
But apart from that I don really plan to knit any presents this year
That might change though

I am knitting facecloths for my sisters and mum to give them with some fancy soap, and I will probably make a cowl or scarflet for my mum as she suffers from arthritis and it is worse when her neck is cold.
I also intend to knit DH a jumper but haven't sorted out a pattern yet. I really ought to get my act together with respect to that.

I did the turtle cushion for my son, it is hidden away. I have a hat OTN for my mum and will do a matching scarf. Will be doing hats for my daughter and her friend and maybe a cardigan. I also need to get cracking on hats for the shoe box appeal, they go off in November

Oh Janice behave yourself! Of course I haven't started yet
I refuse to have anything to do with Christmas until December - Christmas baking aside - which of course can make life very difficult

Yep, i started in May
I have two Baktus scarves finished so far and am halfway through a domino knitted scarf
I might make some fingerless mitts too.
This year i have decided not to wrap up individual presents for everyone but put them all in a basket and let people choose
Not sure how successful it will be though

Not started anything yet but might try and give one or two things for people. Would like to make a scarf and gloves/mittens for my neice, maybe a blanket for my grandad but i will crochet that.
I have a few gifts planned that aren't for christmas so have to get them out of the way first.

There isn't really anyone in my family who would appreciate a knitted pressie for thingmas  , so the only things I will be doing are knitted tree decorations that I will mount in cards for my Lacemaking friends.

I am doing really well, but I do feel a bit like a hamster irunning round in a wheel My pressies so far, turtles cushion for son, 2 hats and 2 fingerless mitts for daughter's best friend, hat for mum. I want to do a few more pairs mitts/gloves for mum and daughter and a hot water bottle cover. I am thinknig of attempting a moebius scarf too, never tried one. I also just cast on a jumper for me to do in between as I never get anything done for myself. So far this year I have finished around 55 items, but a lot are small. I did 28 hats and I can do one of those in a night

55??? You're a knitting machine missus
Well done on all the Christmas pressies but don't overdo it and get stresed - I definitely think it's a good idea to make something for yourself as well - what pattern are you doing Liz?

I bought the freedom spirit book and started the "sweater with lacy yoke" in destiny, it's a lovely shade. I could do virtually all of the patterns in that book, some really nice ones
