Christmas is Finally Over!
I guess it's safe to post pics of the xmas gifts I knitted for family. They know about the blog, but not sure if they ever peeked. So to play it safe, I withheld the pics until now. For my mom - using up leftovers from other projects: Yeah, my mom is into pigs - so piggy mittens! Whether she actually uses them or not, I don't care. She did squeal and said she liked them, so they are now part of her collection. I had a request from my sister - I did want to try to knit a sweater for her husband from my homespun, but he seems to have an allergic reaction to wearing 100% wool. She did ask for something to cover her shoulders to wear at work - she gets cold, and wanted something kinda "stylish". I chose this pattern, and undyed wool and did this: She also squealed and put it on - for a little while. She had layers on and didn't need the extra warmth, but it did fit well. My sister is IN to thank you cards as well. At least someone appreciates homespun hand knit
