where does time go?
this month has flown by, and as usual i feel like i am still trying to catch up, to find some time to enjoy this season. but instead, i am baking, cooking, shopping and wrapping. oh and knitting too. i have the next 2 days off so i am hoping that i get a chance to remember the reason i love this time of year so much.
it feels like i have been knitting like crazy, but ultimately i didn't do too much in the way of handknit gifts. in a few days i should be able to show you what i have been working on over the last few weeks. for now they remain snuggled under my tree waiting to be given to their new owners.
however, one of the gifties did make it to their recipient this evening. these lovely felted toys were given to my friend's son. he is only 4 months, but hopefully he will grow into these soon enough and enjoy them. in the meantime maybe his 4 year old sister will put them to use.
i can't tell you where the pattern came from exactly, it was a kids knitting book. i think there is a sweater on the front in blue/green with a star? it wasn't mine, i borrowed it from a friend. they were a fun knit!
as promised the link to this years knitting tags (shown below) is here. it is a printable pdf file, hope you enjoy. i think last years were a bit cuter, but i am still fond of these.
must go climb into bed now. if i don't post before christmas, i just want to say to those who celebrate, have a good one! it really is the most wonderful time of the year (now only if it would snow instead of rain!).

You make the most lovely things! I got your package last night in the mail - thank you so much for having that fun contest, and sending such fun things. You are so kind!
Merry Christmas to you, Amy!!
The effort you put into wrapping gifts totally puts me to shame. Nice work and Merry Christmas!
You are such a creative and talented person. I wish I budgeted my time more efficiently so that I could do more crafty things during the holidays the way you do.

Once again you've come up with great gift tags! I still love those ones you had for last year, they were too cute! Merry Christmas!
That lucky little boy with play with the cute toys very soon.

as always, you are inspirational.
Love the toys! The colors are great.
The book you found them in is "Adorable Knits For Tots" by Zoe Mellor. It's a wonderful book with a lot of fun patterns.
Thank you so much for sharing the tags. Have a wonderful holiday season! Rebecca
