Yup folks, here they are, a tiny scale of a mitt from my Tartan & Tweed I’m redesigning & overhauling , and they’re made of Malabrigo Sock yarn. Great stash-bust project. Aren’t they so cute? (admittedly, they are a little bumpy and could use a steam pressing). This is also the kick-start of the Christmas gift-making, and so we’ve got one little item checked off the list. (( shhh…. no names will be mentioned, as these are all surprises.))

Kitty
This *possibly may be* the only gift I plan on knitting for the holidays this year. I started with a Louisa Harding pattern, a very simple pattern indeed, thinking for a first-time toy knitting, I couldn’t go wrong. Ah, but I couldn’t help myself from changing it all around… so this is a very modified version. I used up some left over pima cotton boucle yarn from her baby blanket I made almost 3 years ago, and stuffed it with a bit of wool fleece I had in my loft closet…not bad for a first toy , eh? Kitty is purring and ready to go to Nora for Christmas!
I was up against a decision just before Nora’s kitty was finished: 1. Spend from now until xmas knitting gifts, or 2. Design fun new things! Though in recent years not my first choice, but gifts can always be bought , so I am choosing to work on new ideas through the holidays instead. ::sigh of relief:: ((however, this doesn’t prevent me from giving away my prototypes…lol)
Coming up: Another something to add to the ” Vineyard Rows” ensemble, as well as another thing from a ways back… in blue !

Mini Mitts For Nora
Tiny and bright. Too cute for words.
Miniature version of the Pin-Striped Fingerless Mitts
For Little Nora (who will soon be two!)
I knit these little things pretty darned tight on the very skinny #0 needles… so there’s some ‘laddering’ going down the middle of the mitts. I love the affect of the variegated yarn too.
Nora’s Christmas Chulo
One hat, knit for one twenty-month old Nora, for Christmas.
Knit totally improvised, over a couple of days, mostly during one Christmas party, and one long hike walking the hills.
Now finished, and will send off in the mail. I love it, and I think she will too. Made from one-hundred percent Peruvian alpaca yarn, who couldn’t?
Well anyway, this is the first of as many gifts as I can possibly knit up until Christmas, which will be all posted in succession. Starting another immediately… something stripey & pepperminty.

Nora’s Birthday Sweater
Is Finished! After carrying on about i-cord, and deliberating over buttons, then giving the last finishing touches…
At long last this little sweater can go to it’s wee little child. In fact, her birthday is just three days before Easter this year, and it *does* happen to look very much like a painted Easter egg!
Loveliness.
Nora & Her Mom
This photo is likely months old already, but I was sent it only just now, telling of how the baby blanket I knit last April for Little Nora is getting good use. I’m so flattered!
