Stitching Christmas: Day 6

Have you ever knitted ornament-sized mittens before?




Have a wonderful week, everyone!

Stitching Christmas: Day 5

This site links to various ornament patterns. The one shown in the pin below is not written in English, just so you know. It appears to be Danish, according to Google Translate.




Have a great December, y'all!

Stitching Christmas: Day 4

Want to keep your cup of coffee or hot chocolate warm or at least looking festive?  How about this cup cozy?




I hope that you're having a blessed Sunday!

Stitching Christmas: Day 3

This page is not in English, but it has graphs/charts to go by.  Aren't they pretty?




Have you made any Christmas ornaments this year?  Have you ever made any?  Please share where we can go to see a picture of them!

Have a blessed day, y'all!

Stitching Christmas: Day 2

How about some snow, y'all?  If you live in a warm climate like we do, where snow is most likely not going to happen, these beautiful snowflakes could be the next best thing!




Have a blessed day!

Stitching Christmas: Day 1

It has been far too long since I have posted here.  It is my hope to post a Christmas-related pin each day throughout December.

Please share with me what you're working on this month.  I'd love to hear all about it!

Isn't this the cutest thing?

Kissy's New Hat

On my other blog, PS Annie!, I promised that I would share a picture of the hat that I've been working on.

Here is Kissy wearing her new hat!

I started out to follow the great pattern that I found at this website: Annie Cholewa: Downtown Hat

It took me a couple of starts to get it going because I first had trouble with picking up the stitches on the crown. I've never done that before. I ripped it out at least twice and started over. The switch over from the straight needles to the circular needle went just fine. I wish I could say as much about my memory!

Crown

I forgot where I was in the stitch pattern so many times that I had no idea what I would end up with. I definitely couldn't do it exactly the same again. It is a one of a kind original, as they say. I gave up trying to follow the pattern once the stitch pattern changed itself because I knitted once (or maybe three times) where I should have knitted twice. Either way, it was off. I ended up with a diagonal pattern for a few rows until I forgot again how many knit stitches I had done and set it back on course for the way the pattern started out.

Diagonals - Oops!

So, what do you think?  Do you think this one turned out okay? Do you think that I should try, once again, to do the original pattern?  Let me know in the comment section, please. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
