Socks and Things

Hello!

I'm in really good shape as far as Christmas gifts go, I'm actually almost done, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! Yay!

 

So, I decided that in between Christmas gifts I'd make some non-gift things. I started out by making a pair of wool mittens. I love this pattern, it's so simple!

 

 

This wool is SO soft, I absolutely loved working with it! =) These are for my sisters and my etsy shop.

 

 

I also whipped up a few "fancy" place markers...I love using them. =)

 

I could not believe how fast they were to make! I had no beading experience at all so I didn't realize how quick a place marker could be to make.

 

I think this is my favorite one! =) I love green....

I had a lot of fun making them, then when I finished, I couldn't wait to use them for a project!

 

I love the more earthy tones these beads are.

A cute little heart.... =)

I really like the shape of this green bead,  it's so different!

And, the little butterfly =)

Lastly, I was very excited to make another pair of socks! The yarn for these was so much to work with, it has sparkles going throughout it. =) This is my first pair of ankle socks, I really like wearing them. I'd like to make some knee highs some day as well!



You can't really see the sparkles in the picture, but they're there! =)

 

The edging on these used a  stitch I had never heard of before, it is a reverse single crochet, I really like the looks of it though, it adds a ridged sort of look.

 



You may be able to see the sparkles a little better in this picture. =)

 

Well...I think that is all for now! I hope you all  very happy Thanksgiving! There are so many things that we have to thank the Lord for! =) 

Have a wonderful day!



I had to add this....we had such a beautiful sunset today! God's creation is just so amazingly beautiful!
