The last knitted gifts are going out tomorrow! I’m very excited to start knitting some Christmas balls and to get up to date with my MKAL Gnome-Along. Here is what i’ve knitted so far … I won’t show the MKAL gnome pieces because I don’t want to ruin the fun for anyone else.
Arne and Carlos’ new Christmas balls. They’ve designed one for each day in December, like an Advent calendar. I’m several days behind but I’m doing the best that I can. I am using Patagonia Organic Merino by Juniper Moon Farm. The pattern called for three colors in a DK weight yarn. I love the way this yarn feels! Needles are US 4.
Ball 1, “Spruce”
Balls 2 and 3, “Old Fashioned” and “Mutton” …
Mutton is my favorite so far. I’ve decided to knit them and stuff them when I have a few to stuff rather than stuffing one at a time.
Gone knitting.
Mutton is very cute! I am on my last knitted gift, but it is slow going right now. Nearly there though, and then I will be catching up with my MKAL (Skeindeer’s Midwintdeer). Happy knitting!

I have seen quite a few of these over the past few weeks and they are fantastic! I am always looking for things I can give my colleagues at work without breaking the bank.
Congratulations on getting your gifties out on time!!
