A Handmade Christmas
by eleighb
This Christmas was a handmade Christmas! I made everyone’s gift this year and it was probably the most satisfying gift giving I’ve ever done!
My brother Ian is a big Dodger fan, so I knit him a classic beanie with an LA logo embroidered on the front. It helped him nurse the wound he’s been carrying since the Giants won the World Series. 
I made a color fade twist rib beanie for my brother Joe. It’s knit with two strands of yarn held together, so it’s really thick and soft. (Pattern by Vicki Howell)
I made a slouchy bobble hat for my Sister-in-Law Haidee. It’s a more feminine beanie and fits comfortable and loose without falling off. (Pattern by Vicki Howell)
Mom bought Dad a Kindle for Christmas so I knit a case for it! The pattern includes a chain-link cable and a loop/button closure so the device won’t fall out. (Pattern by Vicki Howell)
I made a frilly scarf for Mom. She’d seen and liked another scarf I made for my cousin that had a frill like this at the end. Now she has one of her own!
