Lynda, I have several kinds of gift bags:  some for wine, some smaller and 
wider, some with both ends small like those for plastic bags.  I will have a 
couple of baby afghans, several scarves, and some hats.  Some are totally 
hand done; some are a mix of hand knitting and machine knitting.  I also am 
donating a lap blanket for the drawing, rainbow colors, very soft with some 
angora in it, just stockinette stitch with a double moss stitch border.  I 
have some cushions covered with machine-made slip covers, but they are 
probably too bolky for the table space I have available.  They were great 
practice for learning the machine, and people like them.

You are more patient than I am.  I keep wanting to move on to new things, so 
I have to finish what I am doing.  And I use more synthetic than silk and 
wool, although I love that yarn.  Wool sweaters are really too warm for most 
days here, unless you use very fine yarn, and I can't afford to buy much of 
it. But a lot of the synthetics are still very nice feeling.  I lost playing 
with colors, and I never have seen them.  It amazes me how people's opinions 
of color combinations vary, but I get lots of comments about what I do at 
meetings and on airlines, etc.  I am putting textured designs on some hats. 
I went looking at knit hats for ideas this morning, and I found that all in 
one store had ribbed edges which surprised me.  Several had two balls on 
top, one on each side like ears.  I was not impressed, but my friend gushed 
about them. I am not making any like that, but I will use the ribbed edge 
idea.  I like making hats with the circular needle with basket weave pattern 
or diamonds, etc.  I always check out what they are selling in stores to be 
sure I am keeping up with the fashions.  I didn't see any long tails on top 
of hats like they were wearing a few years back.
