It’s Better To Give…

(Well, unless you’re receiving fantastic new toys…)

I made a ton of stuff for Christmas this year. (To avoid bandwidth issues, I’ll just keep the pictures on the individual project pages.) Let’s see…I finished the patchwork sweaters for my twin niece and nephew. I made a rainbow sherbet sweater for my youngest niece. My twin nieces got doll sweaters (and dolls) to match their flower sweaters they got for their second birthday. My oldest niece got a winnie the pooh apron (sorry, no picture) to go with the miniature bake set and winnie the pooh cookie book we got her. I think that’s all the nieces and nephew…

What else? I knitted to-be-felted clogs for my grandpa and my youngest brother. I made a fuzzy stash scarf for my grandma. It wasn’t for Christmas, because my mom’s birthday is Christmas Eve, but I made her a moebius scarf.

Let’s see…that’s 10 knitted gifts…there are two that haven’t been given yet… Oh, two teeny-tiny felted gift bags, and 11 teeny-tiny felted totes (yes, there are 12 in the picture, my mom knitted one). BTW, if you’re a Sit & Knitter, and you weren’t there on 12/18, don’t click on that last link. Wait, that makes 25, not the 24 on my counter…I guess I mis-counted. Or maybe I didn’t count the moebius scarf because it wasn’t a true Christmas gift? I don’t know. All I know is, I’m starting next years’ Christmas gifts next week. Unless I decide not to, in which case it will be because I’m working on birthday gifts or something for me!

    Everything is so beautiful. I love it all. I’m sure everyone loved their gifts as well! :-)
    I’m starting my x-mas gifts early, too. Maybe next week- depends on how far I can stretch my cash at the Yarn Barn this week! :-D
    WIP madness, here I come (I have only 1 thing on the needles right now. Shocking!)

    Once again, you’ve made my jaw drop! You are too much for words right now! Look at all my exclamations! Does that even begin to convey my admiration? Not even…

    Thanks for all the nice comments! I didn’t really plan to make all this stuff, it just sort of happened. I’m still amazed I got it all done! :)
