Hello friends,
I hope you are doing well. I have been working on some school assignments and knitting more of the stocking. Yesterday I went to see A Bad Mom's Christmas, it was so funny. I loved it and it got me more in the Christmas spirit. It was also a good reminder not to get too busy at Christmas and expect things to go perfectly and to just enjoy time with family and loved ones.
Today I worked on knitting more of the stocking and have knitted some more stripes. I am looking forward to having the two stockings finished for Christmas this year. I have made some progress and want to finish the stocking soon so I can hang them both up when I decorate for Christmas.

In the past couple of years I have really enjoyed knitting Christmas ornaments for the Christmas tree. I knitted a Santa hat and a mini stocking so far. I knitted a bunch of the
mini stockings as gifts last year. I knitted them for my mom, sister and a few friends. I put a lip balm inside with some chocolates and a candy cane. I am thinking of doing something similar this year as well to attach onto gifts with the gift tags.

Some ideas for ornaments to knit this year are:
1. Knitted snowflakes by Shannon Winsauer.

2. Mitten ornament by Red Heart.

3. Yarn basket by Scarlet Taylor.

4. Knitted bird ornament.

5. Ice skate ornament.

I hope that you liked the ornaments and found some ideas of some winter and Christmas related ornaments to knit for this year. I know I will be knitting some of these. I have so much fun knitting little ornaments and then seeing them hanging on the tree brings me a lot of joy.
I have been reading
Not Working by Lisa Owens and find the character so funny and relatable. I am looking forward to seeing what she does next and how her job searching journey goes.

ReplyDeleteI made crochet ones years ago, but never saw such a delicate on made with knitting.
Glad you like it Dee! you're welcome :) yes same here, I always see these kinds of snowflakes and things crocheted and was excited to see one like this delicate as a knit. I will have to pick up some yarn to give this one a try.
DeleteIf you have wine corks lying around, I love Korknisse, and they take next to no time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea Sprite, I looked them up after reading your comment and thought they were so adorable and look fun to make! They are definitely going on my to-make list!
DeleteSo pretty and such good ideas! A few years ago, I made a garland of mittens and hats that is supposed to be an Advent calendar. I just use it as a decoration. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas!
