1) Little mitten ornaments for Lucy, Clare and Yvonne. I forgot to take a picture of Emma's before I gave them to her. Made from stash acrylic.
( 3 pictures )
2) Sweater ornaments. One is for Meghan, and the other remains a secret for now. Pattern taken from Charmed Knits by Alison Hansel. Made from stash acrylic.
( 2 pictures )
3) Shaun the Sheep ornament for Amy. Pattern taken from Alan Dart's mobile pattern. Knitted in Sirdar Snowflake and stash acrylic. The eyes are felt.
( 2 pictures )
4) Gift for Carl.
Spock snowman ornament. Made from a modified version of the snowme pattern by Alan Dart using stash cotton, Sirdar snowflake and felt for the eyes. I left off the legs and changed the torso to blue cotton. Then I used silver yarn to stitch a Star Trek symbol on the shirt and made some pointed ears. The pattern for the ears is as follows:
CO 6 sts. K4, turn. K4, turn. K2, turn. K2, turn. Cast off.
( 1 picture )
5) I made a snowman too for Katy but am short a picture. I need to redo the hat too because it makes the whole thing ridiculously big. I'll do more decrease rows I think.
6) The blanket for Emma is almost halfway there. I don't have pictures yet because I don't like taking pictures mid-knit. It tends to slow me down when I see how far I still have to go :) Still, there will be pictures eventually.
I have read the Nightrunner trilogy again since breaking up yesterday. For some reason it puts me in the christmas mood. I've also read A Wayne in a Manger by Gervais Phynn, which is an excellent book. Very funny.
Hope everyone else is doing well. This is almost all my Christmas knitting finished now. Let me know how you are all doing.
