Somehow I managed to make mad progress on the knitted gifts this Christmas. Not only did I make cowls, mittens, toques, socks and my very first pom-pom… I did it all with time to spare.
I give you the knitted round-up
Like the cowls? Various simple patterns found on Ravelry by searching the yarn – Estelle Drake you can find the blue and orange one modeled by Miss Erin here, the pink one I also found on Ravelry but I’ll be damned if I can find it again – basically alternate squares of knit and purl. The one in the middle is simple moss 60 stitches in the round. Mittens for The Boy were too small so I ended up with new mittens. But The Physicist’s mittens fit perfectly! I made Sista’s toque (which she loves BTW – just doesn’t look like it in the picture) from the same pattern as the ones I made for the little ones this fall – but added a pompom for good measure. And the FIL (Father-in-Law) loved his socks so much last year – I made him a second pair (he has requested 7 pairs).
What did you knit for Christmas?
The Ginger & The Giant 
Ooooooh! You good!
I only managed two pairs of socks and a blanket for my mom (which isn’t as impressive as it sounds being that it was done at 8mm needles and took less than two weeks to crank out).
Thumbs up speed-demon-knitter you!
