Last minute gifts.

I thought I would be able to make a few last minute gifts but who am I kidding. I'm not gonna be able to do that. I can't knit that fast. I might be able to get a hat out if I crochet it. The reality is that I'm a selfish knitter. I love my in-laws but I should of started a long time ago to make their gifts.
I thought maybe I could give a quilt but after looking at the tops I have done, I again realized that I'm selfish. I'm so not interested at this point to give away something that has cost me so much time and money. To be honest it's not even about that, it's more like they are a part of me. A creation that someone else would critique, but could they love it as much as I do?
I just feel that it would be to overwhelming for my MIL. She has downsized so much this past year. She is constantly clearing and giving away things that they don't need or use. I would be afraid that she would give it away after a few months. I think I'll work on a few crocheted hats and washcloths. I think I can, I think i can, ok I know I can. It's just that I want to make sure it's something they would benefit from, something that they can use.
