Christmas 2011: There was knitting.

You win some, you lose some.  First, the loser…


The color work looks pretty good, so you might think this one was a winner.

Until, you see it blocked.

Oh, yeah…no way I could shrink this one.  Funny thing is, my gauge was right on.  I should have known from the comments people made that this one was doomed.  This is the child size.  Here it is on the child, who, by the way, has a lot of curly hair.

So we tried it on the grandpa…

Maybe if we fold up the earflaps?

Finally we found a big head, my older nephew, but I didn’t get a picture, because it really didn’t fit him either, he just wears baggy stuff, so it looked kinda normal.


This one fit another kid, but he was more interested in his Transformers, so didn’t get a photo.  Same designer as the one above, different pattern.

This one was a crochet project which went pretty fast, but I hate counting while working, so crochet is not my favorite, but I think it turned out cute.  You may have seen this lovely model before.

And what photo shoot would be complete without some goofy shots?

The last project was both a winner and a loser.   The had fit my new grand-nephew perfectly, but the booties are huge.  I told my niece to just stuff the toes with tissue and no one will notice.

Mom, grandpa and the new kid.
