Look familiar? These are the slippers that started out as fuzzy feet supposed to be felted! and ended up as normal sized slippers. The good news: they turned out to be very comfy indeed. so much so that when I made Ben try them on to fit them to give to my Grandpa, he wouldn't take them off! So I had no choice but to knit them both their own pair. Knit on big chunky yarn using a basic top-down sock pattern, these are the perfect gift for the lounger with cold feet. Pay no attention to the book collection on this shelf, I have another one for classics.

green weaves scarf
For Daddo
This year for Christmas, I wanted to knit my Dad something that he could wear more often than he goes hunting (he usually requests something bright orange). The weave patten of this dark green Lion's brand yarn makes for a slightly fancy but comfortable manly scarf that he can wear to work or out on the town, but also warm enough for a nice hike. I think he was quite impressed. Happy Christmas Dad!

hogsmede mittens
For Mommo
Made using the Charmed Knits pattern for fan's of Harry Potter (the blue blog), these are the mittens Hermione wore to Hogsmede in the third movie. Aside from the dorkish reference, these mittens have a beautiful pattern and come out warm and elegant in soft white yarn. The bobbles were especially fun to knit, and my Mom was very impressed by them and wore them constantly with her matching white scarf. Merry Christmas Mom!

monogrammed oven mitts
For Katie Thomson (KT)
When Kt came to visit me over the summer, we watched Kronk's New Groove together, where we learned that the purest expression of love is to bake together and to give the other personalized monogrammed oven mitts. I knew then and there what to make her for Christmas.
These are made with Chunky thick and quick held 2tog for nice thick, padded heat resistance, knit just like mittens without the cuffs and then embroidered. "These were the last things she touched, besides my fragile heart!" Happy Christmas Kt!
