More Christmas Gifts...

I started this off thinking this would be the last of the Christmas gifts, but there's just too much for today. More will be coming soon.

Pattern: Saturday Market Bag, Magknits, by Jodie Danenburg
Needles: Size 10 and 15 (I bought new circulars for this time around, the interchangeable Boyde are just too awkard for this for me)
Yarn: Elann, Sonata, Color 9776
Notes: Here is a second one, knit up quickly before the holidays for a gift. It seemed like this was a little faster and enjoyable to knit up with the lighter needles. I've got enough of the same yarn in a purple, brown, pink, and grey colorway so I'll probabily make one more of these, for myself before I call it good.

Warsh rags-

Pattern: Mason-Dixon Knitting
Needles: Size 6 Bryspun (I love these needles for knitting cotton)

Yarn: I think I might have finally burned myself out on this pattern, but I have to say it’s about time since I’ve cranked out over 20 of them. These were the last ones for a while. I paired these with kitchen soap from Body Works and they went out to a group of friends.

Amulet Pouches-

Pattern-Amulet Pouch- Magknits by Maggie Luongo
Yarn- random wool left overs in guyish colors
Needle-size 4 DPNLantern Moon, (the needles I wish I could knit everything with these)Notes- I started off knitting one of these for my DH for his dice for D&D and as soon as I got it finished he was wondering if I could knit them for the who group for Christmas. They knitted up pretty quick and were great TV knitting.

Fetching

This is also a second time that I knit this pattern. Both times they were for gifts, this time for my friend and coworker whose hands are always freezing at work. Everything was the same as before this time around except I went up a size to 7 for the needles so they would be a little bigger, and I bought 2 skeins of yarn this time, so I didn't have to go thought the fear and difficulties of running short on yarn like I did last time.

Sock Knitting Bags and Stitch Markers-

These two sets I made for two friends in my knitting group. I used the same pattern as before by Super Eggplant, but I lined them. I made the stitch markers like I have before. I like them best like this with the loop on the top made out of tiger tail it makes them a little stiffer and less likely to get tangled in the knitting.
