The Ghost of Christmas Projects Past

[medias-res.livejournal.com]

Now that (almost) all of my Christmas projects have been gifted, I can finally post them! This post is about four months in the making now...



A diagonal knitted scarf for my friend Annie


"Red Hot Granny Scarf" (obviously not red, though!) for my friend Aubrie


A Clapotis for my boyfriend's mom


Two Fetchings, for my friends Anna and Shauna


Three "Boyfriend's Hats" for my brother and a couple friends' husbands


Calorimetry for my mom


Bunny Slippers for my friend Steph


Crocheted Mary Jane slippers for my friend Melissa


Little Red (Blue!) Riding Hood Scarf for my friend Penny

The Kool Aid I used to dye the hooded scarf


Lion Brand Homespun Hoodie I made for my friend Kim (I sort of hate this sweater. I will NEVER knit with this yarn again,and I will probably never knit this pattern again--it was really pretty boring, no shaping or anything at all)


Wine Bottle Cozy for my boyfriend's dad

Finally, after all that knitting and crocheting for Christmas, I made something for myself:

A Palindrome scarf in Di.Ve Autunno (soooo soft and fluffy!)

I also did some sewing:


Both my boyfriend's mom and my dad turned 50 in the last two months, so I sent out fabric squares to friends and family and had them decorate them and mail them back so I could assemble them into quilts.

Finally, a blanket that I made for a friend for Christmas, with an idea I borrowed from hardlyacting (entry here):


Wait a minute, Monster, what are you eating?


Is that a bunny slipper?!?


Oh no, don't do it!


*gulp* Uh oh.


Whew! Gold stars for everyone who's still reading ;) Now to get started on next year's presents! (Just kidding...)
