I've stitched this before. And someday I'll stitch it for my tree. But for now, it's one more gift I am happily crossing off my list :)
Thank you for all your sweet comments about my knitting finishes. It means so much to me that you take the time to visit! I've received several questions on various topics, so I'll be posting later this week some answers and such. Toodles for now!

What a darling giftie! seeing it makes me feel like I've received it, too! Thanks for sharing with us. :D
It is such a wonderful feeling getting gifts finished, love the scarves, washcloths and soaps, what wonderful gifts. This Merry Winter is just darling. Nice work!!
Oh Staci this is just beautiful! I always love looking at the gifts you make. Not only is your work always lovely, but I love to see how you package your gifts. Thanks for being such an inspiration!
So cute. And fun to stitch with all that snow around. Still autumn in my neck of the woods, so I haven't stowed the orange/gold/brown threads yet!
Beautiful! I love how you wrapped it up too with the holiday greetings card and candies! I love those peppermint chewies!
It's gotten chilly here after sunfall. I've got the heater cranked!
That's lovely! I'm a fan.
And 7 inches of snow! Wow.
We had lovely 70 degree weather here this weekend in NYC.
nise idea and work...how some people can imagin all that?:))) really, I like it so much
Beautifully finished gift Staci!!
A beautiful ornie Staci - someone is going to extremely lucky to hang that on their tree!
7" of snow - wow and it's only November!
I just love that ornament. And those nougat candies are one of my weaknesses. Whomever receives that will really love it!
I just love how you package up these gifts. They look like bags oF "stitched candy"!
I've been so behind with your blog, and now I'm amazed at all you've been doing! You must be the queen of knitting.
And the ornaments are wonderful. I've never put beads around the edges of an ornament, but I'm gonna have to try that.
You have some very lucky gift recipients.
Wonderful finish and nice idea of the wrapping for gift.
What a great finish! I love the edges - how did you finish them? I am new to trying to finish things into ornaments,etc. and I am trying to learn!
Lovely finish! And I love that gift bag!
WOW, I love it! I like your "staci-dyed" fabric very much!;) Nice shade, goes very well with the threads' colors.
Another beautiful ornament and a wonderful gift :)

omg.....I NEED this chart!~~ Your finish is perfect!! Faye
gorgeous Staci!!!! You do wonderful work & then the presentation is even great!!!! Anyone should be blessed to receive a gift from you!
What a great finish! What a lucky person that receives this gift. I sure hope snow stays away from here for a while. It's been a really warm November and I'm fruitlessly hoping it will stay that way through March!
I hope you will post what pattern you use for your rainbow washcloths as i'd like to make some!
A wonderful piece!
Oh it's very beautiful and I like a packaging!!!!!!!! je continue la découverte de votre blog!!!
Staci, I am almost embarrassed to ask this, but I WANT TO KNOW. How do you determine the border for the BACK of your ornament. Do you just measure and mark, or is there an easier way? I love this tutorial and am going to use it on the ornament I am working on. Thank you so much for a beautiful place to go.... Dee
