Christmas To Do List

The other day we were talking about getting organized for the holidays and someone suggested we make a "to-do" list and have a time set aside where we can come to The Yarn Basket and work on our projects. So on Saturdays from 10-12, come in and join others as we work on our list. We have patterns for all the "ideas" on the list so feel free to make these or choose your own.
