The Christmas gifts


I had to make a few Christmas gifts this year. As always. Though I have less time to knit now that I have a very active little boy, I need to have something handmade to give away to get the proper Christmas spirit. My good-looking army brother got this grey scarf/cowl. My other good-looking brother (both single!) received a lighter gray scarf, but my husband destroyed the photographic evidence of that one. My oldest sister requested a grey knitted stool /puff. My other older sister received the purple scarf. And the very handsome husband, what did he get? A grey woolen beanie which was not a great hit. Blows right through it, he says. Hmmm, must look into that.

Patterns:
Knitted stool: http://www.pickles.no/puff-daddys-baby/(pattern in Norwegian, but there's also an English translation)
Purple scarf: Do check out this pattern, this scarf is DREAMY, and I regret I did not choose the suggested yarn. http://garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=98&d_id=18&lang=en

    Single sier du?? hehehe....
    Kjekk bror, det er je helt enig i. Flotte strikkede gaver. Je har prøvd meg lite på det som kan strikkes med store pinner, men ser at det er noe je burde prøve! :)

    Hei Linda!

    For noen lekre julegaver (på et par lekre gutter, hehe). Det beste som finnes er å få noe hjemmelaget som i tillegg er så flott! Likte også veldig godt puffen:) Også har du vært så flink i innlegget under her. Elefanten og kosekluten var begge veldig fine! Tar jeg helt feil når jeg mener at elefanten er laget etter mønster fra stoff og stil?:) Synes jeg så en sånn søt elefant da jeg var der.

    Ha en flott dag!

    Klem fra Marthe (http://thinktank.blogg.no. Får bare logget meg på med en gammel google-konto. Den fører deg til en annen blogg)

    I love the puff/stool! The picture of Filip trying to eat it is so very adorable. I am so impressed by all of your holiday knitting. I tried to make something for all of my family this year, but ran out of time.

    what lovely gifts!
    and the elephant is adorable!

    the drafty beanie . . . could you line it with a bit of fleece? even a band just around the ears? i have a hat like that, with a fleece band around the inside, right over my ears and across my forehead. very cosy!

    De er heldige som står på din julegaveliste. Puffen ser lekker ut. Det ser fristende ut å prøve seg på å strikke en :-)
