Holiday Projects

Me too! At the moment working on two identical red sweaters out of Bernat "Super Value" in sizes 6 and 8 for a Christmas order. My Granddaughter however is not thrilled with me as I have left her scarf from the new "Chunky" in the beginning stage to get these done. I did however get her little 2 1/2 year old's mittens finished.

Cool scarves, ewezer!
I've made one scarf for my mom, using Twist and Twirl. It's tedious work, but the results are so worth it!

I love those scarves too Ewezer!
I am intimidated by the ruffle yarns. . .
When I get "caught up" on my projects, maybe I'll check out a video!
Great work!

Here's the project that has been stealing all my time. A Christmas stocking, using fingering weight wool yarn. This is the view of the back, showing all the strands of yarn. I've already made four of these stockings for a customer, and she needs another one this year by Dec 20th.

Love the looks of the stocking. What pattern is it? You know I like a challenge and it looks like fun.

Fun is NOT the word for this project. It's a real pain to knit. But, my customer loves them, because they are just like the ones her grandmother used to make in the 50s. You can see the project on my Ravelry page to find the pattern from 1945.

Fine yarn, small sized needles, not a good thing with everything else that needs doing this time of year. Especially if you have things you planned to get done for yourself. You have my sympathy.

Thanks for the love! I'm almost finished with all the colorwork, so next on the agenda is weaving in loose ends, blocking, then joining in the round to knit the foot of the stocking. That part will be equal to knitting an ankle sock, so there is still quite a bit of work left. After that, I will seam up the back, and be DONE!
