Wow, can you believe it's already the last day of the year?
I have a few final FO's for 2009 to show you.
First up - Clover's Ornaments
When Clover was born, I decided to start a Christmas tradition of making her a couple ornaments each year. Here are this year's ornaments:
Santa & Snowman Ornament
Yarn - Cascade 220 Superwash
Really easy, really cute and really loved!
We got some new end tables about a month ago. I'd like for the new tables to stay new looking for a while so figured I needed some coasters. Here are some that I whipped up the other night when I couldn't stand using a placemat or napkin any longer:
Just some simple crocheted circles using some KnitPicks Wool of the Andes yarn I had in the stash. Clover liked them so much that she decided to use one as a rug for her new Kai-Lan dollhouse.
You may want to sit down for this last FO.
I FINALLY finished this pair of socks.
Yarn - Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Merino
Needles - size 2 Kollage dpn's
I have no idea why it took over three months for me to finish this pair of socks. It's not like I used some complicated pattern; it's a plain stockinette sock knit from the top down. The yarn is really nice; I like the color and the feel of it, so it's not that. Oh well, at least they are done now and they've been gifted to my friend, Mary, who loves them so all is good.
Have a great day and if you go out to celebrate tonight, be safe!
Cute Ornaments (love the dollhouse too!) I still have the Sesame St. ones hubby's aunt crocheted for the kids. Yay for finishing the socks too! :)
Happy New Year, on call so plan on staying home and knitting :)

great ornaments! I used to do that for my Mom. Every year I'd make her 3 new ornaments- she has a super collection now. I only stopped because she does not put up a tree or decorations anymore.
Excellent socks! yeah for you!
Happy, Healthy New Year to you and family.
