December Wrap-Up

Happy New Year! I actually accomplished a few things in December, mostly driven by last-minute decisions to gift some hand-crafted items. Will I ever learn?? Probably not, but I'm super happy with what I made, so it's all good. :-)

I decided to crochet this adorable stuffy, "Nibbles the Monster", inspired by the book "Nibbles: The Book Monster" by Emma Yarlett. Pattern is by Nicole Chase. This was for my five-year-old "nephew", the son of some of my best friends.

Next I decided to weave this beautiful linen dish for my grandmother. The kit is from Anne Weil of Flax & Twine, and the pattern is called Adeline Linen Dish. 

I finished the month off with a loom knit dishcloth called Half & Half Scrubby by Heather Lynn. (Link is to Ravelry.com, which has had accessibility problems, please proceed with caution.) Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the finished product before I gifted it to my father! Here is a progress photo with a cute kitty by way of apology:

That's it for finished objects, but I also started a new gnome from Imagined Landscapes and continued work on the gnome from the same designer that I started back in September. I just finished the September gnome last night, so look forward to pictures of that adorableness in the near future! 

I have big crafting plans for 2022. I'm really hoping to get significantly more done than last year, not just because I want the finished objects, but because I want to spend the time doing something that I love! What about you? Do you have big crafty plans? Let me know in the comments!

Happy crafting!
