The grand kids in Chicago need lots of mittens.
And so does their mama. She requested really warm mittens, so I used this pattern which includes directions for a lining. If you want a challenge, here's a link to the pattern, definitely a "don't talk to me" one! But the results are worth the effort.

This slouchy hat was a fun knit.
This hat was fun, too.
This hat was for my oldest grandson who's on a swim team and needs something warm after practice! It had matching mitts which are on their way to Chicago for his January birthday. The pattern is interesting and includes both the hat and mitts.
If you want to knit something totally different, try a bracelet! You can get kits from Ellen Sandin at Earthfaire.
Our youngest grand daughter loves to cook, so I made her this apron.
I got a Christmas surprise, too. The avocado seed finally sprouted after weeks sitting in water. Now it has lots more leaves and is probably a foot tall!

That's all for now, but I'll be back soon for an update on the late December January birthday projects. Happy New Year a tad late!

Wow! You've been busy! Love it all but especially that bracelet!
So many fun little projects always fun to see what you are doing
Ooh, I love those Norwegian mittens!
I've missed you and was just thinking about you on Tuesday. I realized it had been awhile since you blogged so I was going to find your email and write to you but have been pretty lazy. So much neat knitting you've done. I'm impressed with it all but especially the colorwork mittens.
I'm glad all is well and I look forward to hearing what you've been up to.
Blessings,
Betsy
Your Snowflings are gorgeous!!! They are such a pain but worth it. I need to go dig mine out but it really hasn't been that kind of winter here. No snow. Just cold and muddy. Ugh. Araignee
you might not be blogging as much as you would like but you sure are prolific in all of your projects!! All of them are beautiful - you are on fire!
Judy! Ive missed you A LOT!!!!!!!!!! All the hats and mittens are beautiful. But the latvian mittens are extraordinary. SOMEDAY I'll try them Hooray for the avocado sprout and leaves! Great to hear from you. Glad you took photos as you finished your knits!
If you ever find December and January, let me know! They tell me those avocado pits will grow up and yield fruit in about 15 years!
Blink and now we are almost done with January!!!!!
Beautiful projects-the Scandinavian mittens are especially beautiful!
Love those mittens, especially the Norwegian red and white!
Such a beautiful winter design. I am loving the bracelet! 🤗
