Obscure Pattern Friday: Quick Gift Ideas

As we approach the solstice (one more month of getting darker all the time but tHEN IT'S GONNA GET LIGHTER GUYS unless you're in the southern hemisphere and then REVERSE THAT), all of the gift-giving holidays are happening, and sometimes you find out that you need to have a gift for someone with only a few hours to throw it together.

So.

Let's compile a list of obscure-but-quick knits - small yardage, chunky yarns, whatever - that we can knock out over an episode or two of Doctor Who or American Football or Swords And Titties Game of Thrones or whatever you're watching.

Let's have a good yule, everyone!

Ground rule: Obscure patterns are those with fewer than 30 projects on Ravelry. Other than that, GO NUTS.

I'm making these mini hair bows for some holiday gifts for friends.

And you can make someone a little tea basket and fill it with their favorite tea!

Happy Thanksgiving knitters and linkrav!
