(Well, unless you’re receiving fantastic<\/i> new toys<\/a>…)<\/p>\n

I made a ton<\/i> 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<\/a> for my twin niece and nephew. I made a rainbow sherbet sweater<\/a> for my youngest niece. My twin nieces got doll sweaters<\/a> (and dolls) to match their flower sweaters<\/a> 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…<\/p>\n

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

Let’s see…that’s 10 knitted gifts…there are two that haven’t been given yet… Oh, two teeny-tiny felted gift bags<\/a>, and 11 teeny-tiny felted totes<\/a> (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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
