Meghan's Holiday Gift Guide Picks

The time crunch is real. It's that time of year where the days are literally and figuratively so short that my gift-knitting time seems to evaporate. Nevertheless, I've pulled together my most-coveted quick knits, gift list for the people I love the most. The only problem is I kind of want them for myself, too! 

For Mom: Sangaku by Melanie Berg

My mom is a notorious "asker-of" hand knitwear. As soon as she rips open the box holding a new sweater or accessory she's thrilled and then promptly asks for another. I've been contemplating what to make for Annie this year, as I already made her a Tangled Up in Gray in Forge. Finally, I settled on the gorgeous Sangaku by Melanie Berg. This shawl's been on my knitlist for quite some time, and Weld in Red Feather and Fawn is perfect for my warm tone-loving mom.

For Dad: Fulton by Emily Greene

My dad requested a "hat in lake" the moment he saw the color return from the dye house. For a man who asks for almost nothing and has given me so much, I thought the first hat made in Forge was the perfect gift for him this Christmas.

The problem is I couldn't wait to give it to him! And he loves it! It's a constant companion in his coat pocket or on his noggin'. Complete with a H+W Foldover Custom Leather Tag, he's been wearing his Fulton proudly since I gave it to him. 

For my sister: Marin Headlands by Sloane Rosenthal

Cable-y goodness complete with a floofy pom pom. Marin Headlands is the perfect hat for my sister's busy, battle-the-elements, New Yorker life. The brim is nice and deep to pull over her ears and the pom pom adds comical whimsy, which is appropriate for my sister's cartoon character personality. Of course, as she is a New Yorker so there are, um, limited, but sophisticated, color options in Forge

Raven + Charcoal

Hopefully I can pull off my knitlist before the clock chimes midnight on Christmas Eve. Even if I don't there is always our Ready-to-Wear Beanies in Charcoal, Ash, and Fawn for either a backup or front runner. 

My cousin Dan and his awesome wife, Laurén, wore their new H+W beanies in their Christmas card photo. Brinkley had to get in on the action, too. Dogs are the best photo bombers, right?

Good boy, Brinkles! 😂

Happy Holidays, everyone!

    My name is Ellis Byrne, and I’m from Kent in the UK. I was one of several individuals who fell victim to a cyber scam that resulted in the loss of my crypto assets. In my case, I lost around £283K worth of Ethereum. It was an incredibly distressing experience, and at the time, I had little hope of ever recovering what I had lost.

    Fortunately, things took a positive turn when I reached out to Morphohack Cyber Service, a wellknown cybersecurity and asset recovery company. From the outset, their team was highly supportive, professional, and reassuring during what was a very difficult period for me. They worked diligently to trace the movement of my funds and guide me through the recovery process step by step.
    What makes my story particularly striking is just how hopeless the situation initially felt. Losing such a substantial amount of crypto was devastating, and I genuinely believed it was gone for good. However, with Morphohack’s expertise and persistence, I was able to recover a significant portion of my assets. I contacted Morphohack through their official email address at Morphohack@cyberservices.com

    My husband left me for another woman 6 months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain, sorrow and heart break because he was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of a spell caster called Iya hindi Native that he can bring back lover within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted the great spell caster on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 24hours my husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through. He came back to me and now we are happy together. I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you Iya hindi Native for bringing back my husband and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for any one who might need the help of this great spell caster here is the email: iyahindinative@gmail.com Or whatsApp number+233 24 095 7817.

    I still can’t believe this is real, but I actually won the lottery jackpot! It feels like a dream come true. For years, I would occasionally play without expecting much, just hoping that one day luck would finally be on my side—and it finally happened when I came across a testimony on how Dr Benjamin the great spell caster had helped alot of people win, so I reached out to him, he told me what to do and I followed his instructions, after 48 hours he gave some numbers to play, I did played the numbers as instructed.

    The moment I checked my numbers and realized they all matched, my heart started racing. I had to double-check multiple times because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Winning the Powerball jackpot of $107,000,000,00. This has completely changed my life. It’s given me financial freedom, peace of mind, and the opportunity to support my family and invest in my future. Here are his contact information.
