You can design and decorate your own Christmas stocking out of felt and a few sequins for under $2. The possibilities are endless. But don%u2019t attempt it if you%u2019ll end up bruising your holiday mood by trying to stitch together a star, either five or six-pointed, that won%u2019t come magically together as things seem to do under Lipsky%u2019s capable hands.Amy Niles and Cari Clement of Yams & Bonds at 453-B Fourth Street in Park Slope, telephone 499-9168, sell a machine called a %u201cBond%u201d that makes it possible to knit a skirt in 45 minutes or a sweater in a couple of evenings. Clothing made with a Bond looks hand-knit rather than machine-made. %u201cWe also provide support for the people who buy a Bond,%u201d Niles says. %u201cWe have a free Bond Club meeting every month. We find that people who use the machine create more things faster than those who knit by hand.%u201dThe shop also sells gift certificates for knitting classes ($55-$75), a number of needlecraft kits ($5-$50) and Kaffe Fassett knitting kits ($50-$120). More independent knitters can choose their own patterns, yams and books.For Early ChristmasIdeas, Just Read Onchildren especially.
