in an attempt to get a jump start on the christmas knitting, and so that i do not end up finishing people’s gifts on christmas eve, i started with a few small projects, and better yet, projects i already had the yarn for in the stash. as an ongoing part of my efforts to live within a budget and to try to reduce my spending as much as possible, i have been knitting from stash whenever i can, although i will have to purchase yarn for at least two christmas projects. using a very basic mitten pattern i knitted a pair for my nephew noah, who will be one by christmas, and a pair for my niece lexie.
noah’s are on the left, lexie’s are on the right.

amazing that these will fit such tiny hands so perfectly.
i spent the day at home wathcing movies, reading harry potter and knitting. my positivity for the day, take some time to just relax and recharge. hope you had a safe and happy fourth of july!
