Wednesday WIPs: Wrapping It Up

 

I haven't wrapped up any of the Advent knitting yet. Felici is going to win this race for sure. I'm not sure what to make of the Cozy Knitter socks. I'm having a hard time telling one stripe from another so I've pretty much abandoned the Advent thing and am just knitting a pretty pair of socks now. 



The Arne and Carlos 2026 stocking is getting closer to the heel split. This year's pattern was not for the faint of heart. Those hand holding gnomes were a bear to knit. This is going to be a huge stocking compared to the others I've finished. Sport yarn and #2 needles are a big leap from sock yarn it seems. 



The Mister's Riddari has its body up to the arm joins and its first sleeve in the works. It makes good TV knitting as I plow through my huge collection of holiday DVDs at night. 





We-and by that I mean The Mister, have been wrapping gifts to put under the tree. I have no talent for wrapping but since he's a lefty I'm always involved with the scissor action. 




It was hard to wrap this little Miss up. Daughter wanted to start a collection of the new stuffed American Girl dolls and wanted Molly for Christmas. An original American Girl doll of one sort of another was always under our tree for many years back in the day. With six grandsons and no granddaughters, I jump at the chance to shop for things like this. Next year she'll be getting Addie.

    Those Cozy Knitter socks are indeed very pretty even if they're not too Avent-y. That stuffed Molly is very sweet. If they had come out with the stuffed dolls while my boys were young and I was in the middle of living with Too Much Testosterone, I would have bought them for me.

    Oh, goodness. Lots of good Molly memories in this house.

    Nice choice on the Olivier Darcy. He was a dashing young man.

    I'll be wrapping things this weekend. But most won't be gifted until the new year. Mom's just had surgery and it has a two month recovery, so we're postponing Christmas for that side of the family until she's back on her feet

    Both pairs of Christmas socks are bright and pretty. And whenever they are finished, they will be warm. That other sock looks like quite the project. I had forgotten all about American Girl dolls. The stuffed version is cute.
