So, I took the handmade pledge and, well, made Christmas Presents instead of buying them. Which, now that I think about the economy, may have not been such a good idea. But I bought the yarn, right? That’s stimulating the economy.
The biggest accomplishment, are the Christmas Stockings made for Edie and Maeve:
There were some coaster sets:
felted ornaments:
And also, socks:
The key, I learned: start early! As in: July!! I started knitting the socks for the Ravelympics, and as Michael Phelps was swimming to 8 gold medals, I was trying to finish the Sock Put. So, six months, three pair of socks, two swiss cheese scarves, some Christmas balls (insert your own joke here), a few coasters and a two hats. And while I am still making a scarf for my mom out of the cabbage dyed yarn… I think I can say: I did it!!
Now, I get to make stuff for me!
The stockings are adorable. I’m also jealous of how fast you knit socks. Mine languish. They’re morose socks.
