I’m going to craft some Christmas ornaments this year. And yes, I will definitely be knitting some.
My first idea was an inspiration from Handknit Holidays. There’s an icord garland with pompoms in the book. There’s some yarn I’ve been meaning to get rid of, and have actually been trying to get rid of:
It’s a silver and black railroad yarn that I’m never going to use in anything else. I think a 4-stitch icord of this stuff will be a nice alternative to tinsel. I just have the two balls, so I’m just going to knit and see how long it gets.
And for other scraps of yarn, I plan on making these:
I ordered “Handknit Holidays” in from work and bought it. I eventually want to do the Aran tree skirt, but that’ll be a while.
I also want to try some felted Christmas ornaments, there’s a class at my LYS, I just need to decide if I can afford it. I’ve already signed up for a spinning class which is in a couple weeks.
I still want to make the felted Christmas boots from one of Cat Bhordi’s books. I have all the yarn, I started last year and never finished.
