Christmas knitting

[ann]

Hi everyone
such a cold wet day here, have been going through all my patterns and decided I would pick some things out I need to do and put away for Christmas, I know its a bit early but this year I am not going to leave it till the last minute, thank goodness for the Jean Greenhowe patterns, I knitted Father Christmas last year so this year he is going to get a wife Mrs Christmas., yet another project!!!!!!!!!!

Well done with getting ahead with your Christmas knitting

I say it every year but always a scramble at the end

I must admit a lot of the Xmas books (Jean Greenhowe and Alan Dart) and Alan Darts Dickensian Mice Pattern (in 5's and 10's !!) have been flying out the last few weeks. Craft Bits has also seen A LOT of bells go out the last month.

It looks like you are not the only one getting ready for Xmas ann

Hi Carole
I knitted the mice last year, but got myself into a pickle trying to sew their heads on any tips!!!!!!

I hate knitting toys!!!!! they drive me mad.

I am starting to knit for christmas too. Everyone is getting either a felted bag. Slippers. Or scarf set....

hi
I like knitting toys, think its because they grow quick and you can use up all the odds and ends seem to get lots of that, i wish we could get 100grm balls and 50grm balls in the same colour and dye lot, then there wouldn't be so much left over. Never tried slippers are they easy? Have got a blue scarf finished, and thats in my Christmas box, hope it will be packed full over the next few months.

Slippers are really easy to make....easier than toys!

I'm with Flystitch here. Always the good intentions! The reality is a mad rush in the last few weeks. Well done Ann.
