Cathy has received the ornament I made her for the Christmas Ornament Swap. I made quite a few changes with this little thing: omitted DMC 336/navy and used 310 instead (Cathy doesn't care for blue). Omitted the mulitcolored french knots that are supposed to be on the trees (looked too cluttered). Used snowflake charms because my stitched snowflakes looked really, really bad.

I haven't crossed a single X all week. It's been a crazy busy one. I think compounded by no school on Monday. And Thursday my Oldest turned 14...WOW! So hard to believe.
The ornament is so cute, I love the snowflake charm additions :)
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf too, it looks very warm and cosy.
A very nice finish on the ornie. And what a fabulous scarf! You don't need x's when you can finish up something that pretty with those flying needles of yours.
ReplyDeleteStaci, the fob is darling. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI saw your ornie on Cathy's site! It's adorable! Another beautiful finish:)
ReplyDeleteLove your scarf! I have a small collection and love how they dress up a coat! Good job girl!
Cute little ornie :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf! Love the color!!
I love your fob, so sweet, and I love the colour of your new scarf.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the x-ing of stitches will be back in full force soon.
The ornament is very cute and the snowflakes are a very nice touch!
ReplyDeleteStaci, because of all the knitting you've been doing lately you've inspired me to pickup some new (sale!) yarns to stitch a simple scarf for myself. I need a super warm scarf as winter will still be here for awhile and our winter is turning out the coldest ever!
How Cute!!! love the ornament and the scarf!
ReplyDeleteLove the ornament and the snowflake embellishments are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI'm so admiring your cabled scarf...beautiful colour.
Very cute ornie! Love it as well as the scarf!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how quick they grow up? I can't believe that I have a teenager in the house already.
Happy Birth Day to you mom!! It is amazing how the time flies and more surprising is how the relationship changes. I'm at the point in my parenthood where my kids and I have adult/adult (young adult) relationships and it's so wonderful. I used to miss every age as they passed into new things only to discover new joys (and challenges!!!)
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf and fob - more wonderful accomplishments from you-Bravo!
By the way - I tried your email suggestion for my angel and had a 10 minute window of opportunity with the sun out and got the pattern copied twice - thanks for your help!
Super nice scarf in my favorite color! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThe ornament is lovely too!
