Been doing a little Christmas knitting and looked through the many many patterns over at Ravelry. Made the Christmas tree lights, mitten, ornament dishcloth and an ornament covering for a plastic ball. All were easy to knit and made for a fast knit.
I love knitting for Christmas. I’ve tried to make projects for others and hurry to get them done by Christmas but I always seem to knit slower the more I need something done quick. So I decided this year to make ornaments for oth
ers. I’ve made several of the Christmas balls to give as gifts. Very fast knit, I made 3 of them in one evening. The clear plastic balls are from Michaels Craft Store and were on sale for about 60 cents each. The yarn is a skein of Patons Kroy Sock yarn which matches the socks I made just a little while back. I can probably get 5 of them made from one skein of yar
n.
The dishcloth will be used for the holidays in the guest bathroom. Made with cotton yarn. Thinking about making a forest green dishcloth with a christmas tree on it.
A few years ago I made a christmas gnome that now is the angel at the top of my tree each year. I’d never attempted a doll before so it was fun to try.
