I don't know about you, but I'm totally in denial about the holidays this year. Specifically in terms of gift knitting.
Which is why I'm so enthralled with Rowan Kidsilk Creation. I know it's not "real" knitting, exactly...but in less than an hour, once you figure out how you're supposed to do it, you can make a very pretty ruffled scarf out of one of the most perennially popular yarns on the market - Kidsilk Haze.
It's a limited-edition product, but I think it could come in handy this season. Here's my review.

Clara, does it matter what size needles you use?
Thanks for the review, I am also going to make several for Christmas gifts!

Evidently, you struck a chord with many busy knitters. I decided to get a couple of colors, only to find most sites I looked at had it back ordered. Jimmy Beans Wool still had 4 colors to choose from (and I had a free shipping coupon - woohoo!)
Thanks for the enabling, by the the way. DH may not appreciate it, but I do!

| There is also a similar product from Berroco called Lacey. It wouldn't be as soft as Kidsilk, but it has a different construction and the finished scarf looks more like lace. They have a free "pattern" on their website. Lots of colors too. |

There's a few colors left at Annie's Attic (no affiliation, just bought a ball of Candy Girl).
