Christmas Knitting

Now that Christmas is over I can post pics of this year's gifting. I didn't make much, but that meant it got finished on time!!

For my Mommy. This hat and the gloves match a scarf I made for her last christmas. It was the wavy from knitty, slightly modified for cleaner edges. It didn't get finished until the end of January, so I'm very proud that this year's gifts were wrapped and ready before Christmas Eve!

The gloves and above hat are made from KnitPicks Andean Silk on size 7 bamboo needles. I'm completely in love with Andean Silk. Super warm, soft and not itchy! Hand wash only, technically, although I often wash my wool in the machine on cold. It gets a little fuzzy and felted, but doesn't shrink, so that works for me.





For my sis, before felting the second slipper. Normally I would have felted them at the same time, but this was my first time working with SWS and I wanted to be sure it would felt ok before I bothered knitting a second slipper.
