It has been a busy year with lots of handmade items lovingly made for Christmas. Having only started knitting this year Miss C made five pairs of knitted socks. She then decided that she would like to knit a couple of jumpers as well. We decided on some patterns that involved cables. Having only ever knitted socks she took it all in her stride and produced two absolutely gorgeous jumpers that will be treasured by the recipients for years to come.
My makes were a little more modest! I crocheted some dishcloths for my mother who has been wanting some for awhile. Using the Easy Crochet Dishcloth Pattern by Daisy Cottage Designs. I am really pleased with them and may have also made a few for myself. (I do love a dishcloth after all!)
For Miss C I made a tailors ham in a matching fabric to her thread catcher, using a pattern by Jennifer Lauren Handmade, to make pressing easier in her dressmaking projects. It is amazing how much sawdust one little pressing ham takes! Miss C absolutely loves it.
Day 22: Stitch Markers:
We got these for free with the Hobbii rewards points and thought they would be perfect and cute to use on project bags. We could use them for a particular project and would know what was in the bag.
Day 23: Chocolate:
Who doesn't love chocolate!
Day 24: Something Crochet:
I made Miss C a lovely pair of Elements crochet gloves by Nancy Said. It was an easy to follow pattern and I really enjoyed making them. Miss C made me a stunning pair of crocheted Seashell earrings using a pattern by Golden Lucy crafts.
Day 25: Yarn:
For our final advent for 2022 we gave each other sock yarn. Miss C gave me a gorgeous skein of Heritage Wave in pink and blue tones. I absolutely love it. I gave Miss C a ball of Bendigo Woollen Mills sock yarn in the Pot Pourri colourway.
Until next time,
Samantha & Miss C Xx
