AW: More Christmas Gifts

[reinedumonde]

I've been very busy the last couple of weeks - almost done with my Christmas crafts!

First, I finished the second pair of socks:



and my scarf for MIL:

Here's a close up of the pattern:

The pattern is Hawthorne by Susanna IC and can be found here: www.twistcollective.com/collection/index.php/component/content/article/83-fall-2010-patterns/697-hawthorne-by-susanna-carrigan

Then I also saw a tutorial on Pinterest for drawing designs on white china and made a couple of these mustache mugs for our sisters:

I hope they don't think they're too dorky...

I still need to make one more scarf for my mother, sew a couple more clutches, and a few more ornaments for friends and family. Whew, I'm going to make it this year! I've got a couple of ornaments finished, but I don't want to ruin any surprises for my elf!

Nice socks, lovely scarf, and just the right amount of dorky!

[hunniapple]

Wow the scarf is beautiful. My sister would probably crack up at that mug. I think it's great! Socks look great also!

[bluelikejazz]

Very nice work! I think your sisters are going to love the mugs! (Can you post the tutorial you used? I think my SIL would LOVE one of those!)

[chuicafina]

Everything is great! I really need to learn how to knit socks. Probably not as gifts...I want them

I think the mustache mug is fun! I would use one. But I'm a dork, so you can take that with a grain for salt.

Thank you ladies!

The tutorial I used was here: fromthetortoiseandthehare.blogspot.com/2010/06/mustache-mug-tutorial.html

It was really really easy. I got the pen on Amazon for a couple of bucks, but I'm sure you could find one in any craft store, too.

Love the socks! I think the mug is fun. I'd use it for sure.

Nice! I think the mug is fun!

Looks great! There won't be too many homemade gifts here this year... My excuse is my heavily diy wedding a couple months ago haha

I am amazed at anyone who can knit socks. Those rock.

Great job. Those socks are great.
