You have to knit it - at least enjoy knitting it! <BR/>I would recommend that you keep to yarn that can be machine washed and dried. After you meet that mark, the sky is the limit.

I love making gifts for people, but I always feel strangely ... resentful (I know that makes me sound awful) if I've not had the control, the creativity and the choice in what I'm going to make.
