Here are the things I made in November and December. Pardon the delay for the November objects – you know I couldn’t reveal them until after they had been gifted at the end of December.
Hats! Hats! Hats!
A lacy pair of fall-hued socks for Mom.
A pair of cutie monsters for the littlest cuties in the family. As usual, the item for the ‘Princess’ must have pink on it somewhere. The spikes seemed like the best spot.
Yoda, as requested multiple times, for Brother. He is very persistent. But I still managed to keep it a secret by insisting that I was scared my knit and crochet abilities were somehow too lacking to execute the project with any success. I don’t think he really believed the bit about my skills, but he did believe that I hadn’t made it until he pulled it out of the package.
The alpaca hat in two colors for my man, pattern adjusted for circumference and height since his noggin is bigger than most. This version fits perfectly too. Success!
My first snowflake attempts. Lacy crochet projects aren’t usually my thing. I think they turned out well. They ended up on a few special packages as a little something “extra” for the recipients.
And a flock of mini mittens to adorn the rest of the packages.
After all of this Fiancé insisted that I needed a knitting intervention. I had completed everything a full week ahead of Christmas Day and couldn’t seem to stop knitting. Mini mittens kept casting themselves onto my needles every time he looked around.
Then he asked for a pair of fingerless mitts.
And now I’m done. For the moment anyway.
