Great post! I’m working on a very modified version of the Lotus Blossum.

I love the wintery graphics (much better than I like the actual winter).

I am working on socks (no surprise to anyone who knows me), including pairs for my younger sister and my oldest niece for Christmas. I am also working on a sweater for my oldest grand-niece for Christmas. I hope I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew—er, complete.

I have finished socks for my youngest sister for Christmas, and also for my mother and my son (a.k.a. Mr. Bigfoot).

Trying to finish a Toddler (girl) Sweater for Granddaughter’s Christmas present. Still have to complete the sleeves and assemble.
Several scarves to complete. Always plan to make way more than I can humanly complete but will continue on and give next season as needed.
Happy Holidays to all!

Hi Knitting Today,
Love the snow falling and the new wintery graphics. I have finished several hats for the holidays and plan more if time permits! I also picked up some Shepard’s wool today for a few cowls(even know they might be so last year!) Happy Holidays.

PS. The hat on the cover of Knitted Gifts is cute…might need to make that one too.

Hello,

I have been working on a number of projects for the Holidays. I’m making the Central Park Hoodie sweater for my DIL. Almost done with that – just the button band and hood to go and it will be done. I’m also making socks for the members of the Christmas families that we-ve adopted fromt he Christmas bureau. Nine pairs required – 6 and 1/2 pairs done. I’m also working on a sweater for myself – “A Sweater to Fit” It is coming along beautifully and should be done by next week some time. Just finished a “Wonderful Wallaby” sweater for my grandson, and got requests from other members of the family for one of their own (but not for Christmas!). I should have all of my Christmas projects finished in time for giving.

Knitting is the greatest way for me to relieve stress. I find it very relaxing and try to be sure that I always have a project with me wherever I go.

Hope you have your projects on schedule also!

I have a special Christmas project that I started working on in the spring (I can’t think what happened to me) and the two gifts that I am making for Christmas just need to be blocked so I think I might make it. A far cry from the days when I would wrap the fabric and the pattern and put them under the tree with a promise to get the garment made right after Christmas.

A couple of weeks ago I finished a cardigan sweater for myself with the 2nd Time Cotton and am very pleased with the results. Now I am knitting Barbie clothes for Ava, my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. Seems like deja vu all over again; I did this for my daughter 35 years ago. For relief from the size 1 needles, I also am continuing to knit Light Up My Life stole in Hempathy. I am 13 rows into the 36 row repeat on the last section, so I plan on completing it before Christmas. This pattern is lovely! We continue to enjoy the sunny Orange County, California weather.

I have made sweaters for 3 granddaughters and have started a challenging sweater for myself. As I am still non weight bearing in a cast on my right ankle with a fusion, I have a lot of time on my hands to tackle a challenge. Merry Christmas to All.

Howdy,
I’m working on Selbu mittens with some Shepherd’s Wool fingering (what I have leftover from my lacy beret). Also, I have just a few small things to knit for Christmas: a pair of socks for my nephew, on size 5 needles they’ll go fairly quickly; a scarf for my niece, that’s on size 13 needles so that’s a quickie too. Other than that, I’m preparing to submit a pattern to Knitty!
