Christmas Knitting Pictures

I couldn't share peaks of what I was knitting for Christmas presents before Christmas.
The pictures would have given it away way too easily.
BUT Now that we're past Christmas I can share with no worries.
I knit all sorts of Mittens for the Nephews.
In mix-and-match Fair Isle(ish) patterns.
Sets of three, with a "Universal thumb" that means the mitten can be worn on either hand. 
And the third mitten means there's a spare if they lose one.
Which little ones will do.
I did a pair for their Dad too -- but he only gets two.
I think he's less likely to lose one. (Watch him be the first!)
And a Hat for my Sister.
This is the Baa-ble hat pattern from Shetland Week, but done in Lion Brand Wool-Ease.
I'm calling it "Wash-a-baa-ble" :)
Of course, then there had to be sheepie mittens too.
Like the sheepies on mommy's hat.
Or not, maybe just sheep. Crazy-Googley-Eyed Sheep Mittens.*
(Which are probably being played with like hand puppets right now.)
*Let me know if anyone is interested in a pattern/tutorial for these Sheep Mittens. I took notes while I was making them, so I could create a pattern from that for you if anyone wants to copy them.

  1. Hi Steve,
    I appreciate your zeal for Christ. If you have looked at the Devotionals page of my blog you have seen that I am a Believer and Follower of Jesus Christ and that I also share my faith in this and other online forums. I have published your comment as I believe your intentions were well meant. I believe that we are all asked to help spread the Message and Hope that all might be Saved.

    However, I must admit that my first reaction to your "comment" on my Christmas Knitting post was to wonder how you would react if I went and posted about knitting on one of your evangelism blog posts.

    I think it would have been more respectful of me if you had chosen to place your comment on one of the blog posts in which I mention my faith. It would have been more conversational, more intentional, less spam-like.

    Jesus, and the Good News should NEVER be treated like Spam, Steve. Never.
