So, here is a blanket, hat, and booties that I did for one of really good friends grandson. The hat and booties were done in time, but the blanket was a couple of weeks too late.
I started a throw for my house about a year ago (!) but my family thought it looked "army" so I never finished it. But I needed, for myself, to finish all of my unfinished projects, so I finished the army throw. If nothing else, it's warm!
Last year for Christmas I made my whole family sockies (10 pair)! It was quite an accomplishment. I ended up with some yarn leftover from the socks and I had decided to make my mom a scarf with everyone's sock yarn. It is not beautiful, but it is a little sentimental.
I just mailed it to her, I'll let you all know what she thought about it.
Lastly (I told you I have been busy!) I tried my hand at stuffed animals. I made an elephant for my daughter and a hippo for my son. I was very pleased with the way they turned out and frankly I am a bit proud of this accomplishment!
I am awaiting some special needles in the mail (I could not find the right size locally) for some beaded (Yes! another new adventure) fingerless gloves. I am excited about that. My nephew wants another pair of socks that I will get some yarn for. My friend, Holly, wants a scarf which I will also find some yarn for. My old friend, Sundae, asked if I could do a turtle, so I will look around for a pattern for that. Lots of knitting, so little time.
Happy Knitting!
XOXO
