'Twas the Season
I've been able to give away some knitty gifts lately, which was really fun.
The latest was this mitten set. I love these mittens - the yarn, the colorway, they are lovely and warm. But they did not fit me or match my winter coat. Luckily, my co-worker Heather saw them, liked them, and they matched her coat. I brought them in and success! They fit as well. So now she has a lovely warm pair of mittens and I feel all warm and happy that someone actually wanted my knitting. Win-win!
I also gave some very tiny pieces away at Christmas. I knit up this little pouch to hold a cute Germany ornament for a themed ornament exchange. I was dear Grossmama mailing a little gift to Tib Muller, from the Betsy-Tacy books. *g*
I sewed a little bag crammed tight with apple cinnamon potpourri and stuffed it and pillow fluff into the purple squares. Basic, but pretty and I hope she liked it!
I also had a knitting-related gift set for Kristine and another for Jennie. I took clear empty ornament balls, wound some mini skeins of yarn and stuffed them, garland and knit ornaments inside. They came out so cool and I think many others will receive an ornament next year, as well!
