Two lots of Christmas knitting, both from Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson. The pink creation is the Children's cotton hat in Mission Falls 1824 cotton, and the stripy one is the Child's Rainbow scarf in Noro Kureyon (I love Noro so this was a must knit!). They are both really quick knits and the scarf in particular is very satisfying to knit. Now if I can only make a pair of handwarmers a day between now and Christmas everyone will get a present !
The book is 'Creativity' by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. It's about creativity in a cultural rather than personal context. It's an interesting read so far. He says that creativity, in the sense of making a difference to a particular area (maths, art, sculpture etc), is as much about the area itself and how contributions are assessed, as it is about the individual.
