The holidays are quickly approaching . . . have you finished your holiday knitting?
Have you started yet? It's not too late! Visit our
Holiday Central page for accessory projects that knit up fast and make great gifts. Then fix yourself a pot of coffee, find a comfy chair, and get knitting!
Some of my favorite accessory projects:
- What is cuter than a cheeky monkey, a playful puppy and a huggable teddy bear? The Caribou Critters pattern has three adorably soft, completely washable critters knit from HiKoo's Caribou and Simplicity yarns. Go traditional with dark brown, gray or tan critters, or get funky with aqua, pink or chartreuse colored critters.
- How about a soft, lacy, feminine and FREE scarf pattern? Classic Elite Yarn's Light Flurries Scarf (designed by me!) is knit with Classic Elite's Vail yarn, a wonderfully luxurious alpaca and bamboo blend in natural, undyed colors. The bamboo gives it a bit of luster and drape, while the alpaca gives it buttery softness. Or make your scarf extra special with Vail Hand Dyed, the same awesome yarn dyed in rich, vibrant colors - only available for a limited time!
- Bulky = Fast! Classic Elite's Sakari Scarf is knit with two colors of bulky Wynter yarn on size US 10 needles - a fast project with fabulous results! Knit the edging first, then pick up the stitches to create the fun ribbing.
- Do you like sets? Marta, from the Classic Elite Alpine Forest collection, is a fetching beret with a lovely face-framing cabled band. The Classic Elite Garter Cable Wristlets use the same cable design in a fingerless mitt - great for keeping warm while texting! ... and the Garter Cable Wristlets pattern is FREE! Both are knit in Classic Elite's Fresco, a super-soft blend of wool, baby alpaca, and angora with magnificent colors!
Have fun with your holiday projects! Happy Knitting . . . Amy
