For those of you who know me well,  you know I love crochet.  It's a hobby that lets me bleed off nervous energy while still getting to sit and binge-watch TV. It forces me to relax while I still feel like I'm accomplishing something.

Except for once a year.

Once a year, I get it into my head that I don't need to spend money on Christmas presents! I'll just make them! I'm a fast worker and it's so much cheaper!

I fall for it every damn time.  Send help. I'm only halfway done.
