Christmas Crafts

I was pretty busy this year making gifts. I like to make gifts. This first one wasn't actually for Christmas. A friend had a baby boy and I made it for him. This isn't the finished project but you get the picture.

This next one I made for my mother-in-law. It turned out nice a big and warm. I was relatively pleased. It was a relatively easy pattern but it turned out really nice.

This is one that I made for my god-son. I love how the lions mane and the eyes are attached after so they have some definition and it gives him something to feel and grab on to. Plus it's super cute!
This is a dishcloth I made for my mom. I have made quite a few dishcloths but she wanted one that was Christmassy, and this is what she ended up with. Turned out pretty good to me.
And this last one is the blanket I mad my sister. She likes orange. This blanket didn't have as much orange in it as I had hoped but it turned out nice anyway. It was soft and squishy and really warm. Perfect!
Now I need to start on next year. No more leaving it until October to start!

  2. That's my favorite so far. It involved a lot of things I had never tried before which was awesome and it turned out amazing.
