Imagine this: You are going to a Christmas party, and you know that there will be a gift-exchange. You don’t have time to go to the store. Also, you’re broke. You know the other guests at the party will all bring crazy-fancy gifts and you don’t want to be shown up.

And, did I mention, you leave in fifteen minutes?

I think it’s a time to make WIP Ornaments!

These are super fast, super easy and super cheap (in fact, you probably have everything you need in your craft supply cupboard right now). A tiny bit of the simplest garter-stitch knitting, a couple toothpicks and a dab of glue, and you’ll have an adorable handmade Christmas ornament in less time than it takes to wait in the checkout line at Macy’s.
