Knitted things...

So, I've found that I really enjoy knitting but people nowadays see knitted clothing items as unwanted. They always think that it'll be something like that unwanted sweater that Ron gets in Harry Potter, or that old cardigan that your grandfather wears...

What do you think LJ? Are knitted things old news? If you were to receive something that was knitted what would you want it to be? A scarf? A cute top? A shawl? Fingerless gloves?

In other news, I've finally finished knitting things for my four major female family members, my mom and three sisters. I'm so mad at myself for not taking pictures of them before wrapping them; I'm very tempted to unwrap them and snap a few photos and then just wrap them back up again...
