Perhaps the perfect gift to make - Infinity Scarves!

A late Happy Christmas and a late Happy New Year! I hope both were good to you, and have left you with lots of happy memories. It's been so long since I've written anything here that it's feeling quite strange. This has not been due to any calamities which have befallen us, or even general hectic life happenings. It's just been down to a complete lack of internet connection, very boring I'm afraid. Our internet is never good but at the beginning of November it got considerably worse, as did our phone line, and despite (or perhaps because of!) numerous engineer attempts to repair our line, it continued to deteriorate and December was almost completely an internet write off. Today is the first day for weeks I've been able to do anything at all on here, although loading my e-mails or even trying to comment on anyone else's blogs sadly both seem to be too much for the limited connection we do have. Another engineer is due tomorrow, and we've been told he will definitely be able to fix our problem (ha!), so fingers crossed I may get back to normal soon.

In the meantime a speedy post before it's completely gone again! This Christmas was definitely the Christmas of scarf making. And I think maybe my new favourite gift to make could be an infinity scarf. Pam over at Threading My Way introduced me to the idea of sewing these a while back with this post which has lots of great Infinity Scarf sewing links. So, it's obviously too late for this Christmas (sorry!), but if you're looking for future gift ideas to make then I'd definitely recommend giving them a go. Here's my Christmas collection!

These were all made from old, silk saris, not the easiest things to sew with but perfect for these, especially as the sewing required is fairly minimal and straightforward.

And Venetia put up with modelling a few for me to show them in action too...

Did you have a particular gift you made this year that worked really well which you can now share for me to squirrel away as ideas for next year's Christmas making?
