Stuff I made for Christmas
Okay, Mom's knit dresses first. They pretty basic. She really wanted a dress for Saint Kitts. Something simple but easy to dress up or down. She loves blues so I went with both an aqua knit and a purply blue knit. The pattern is one of my favorite patterns for my work dresses - I think it's a McCalls. I've used it at least 7 or 8 times now. For her, I edited it and made it a petite size.
Da nephews! I made them the ultimate medieval dress up trunk. I knitted "dirty" chainmail, a new "chainmail" coif, and sewed up a silk tunic as well as a linen parti colored tunic. The Jester outfit (blue and gold linen) is H/A for the 14th Century - although it is machine sewn and not handsewn. The silk tunic is made in the same style. I also made a leather "crown" so they could play king.
For my SIL, I knitted a chunky green scarf and a pair of fingerless mittens. Unfortunately, no pictures of those.
