Knitting Notes

Christmas Ornaments

I’ve got two separate projects going right now.     The first is from this set of Christmas Ornaments, by MillaMia Sweden.     They’re supposed to be for sport weight yarn, but I’m using them to wear down some of my larger scraps of fingering weight.    (Which fortunately, are vaguely Christmas colored.)     Plus, I’m getting some easy color work practice in.

Second is the Roger Bear pattern, by Nice and Knit.   I happened upon this while trying to match up patterns to yarn in my stash, and practically shoved it in the face of my soon to be a grandmother co-worker M.     Fortunately, she thought it was as cute as I did, so I’m making it.    I’m using my Patternsworks Bretton Heathers, and a scrap of the Classic Elite MountainVista yarn for Roger’s head.
