First finish of 2025

I made some fingerless gloves or muffatees for my niece.  I used worsted weight Plymouth Encore.  This is my favorite yarn for things I know will get machine washed.  The yarn is mostly acrylic (75 % acrylic, 25% wool) but it is nice to knit.  Very squeezable.

Yarning along

 I got out my swift and ball winder today and went to town.  I had more yarn to wind but my wrist was getting irritated so I called it a day.

Some of this yarn I bought for specific projects but who knows what they were! I'll try to do better in the future!

Sewing littles

 

Red asked for a book sleeve to keep paperbacks safe in his backpack.  The fabric was a fat quarter from Walmart. It was 99 cents but it washed up nicely. 

 

I also made three cases for my readers.  I keep a pair with each stitching project and I wanted something better than the little ziploc bag they came in. I used off cuts of soft and stable for padding.

Woven wreaths SAL

At last I completed the December block for the Woven Wreaths Stitch A Long.  I'm pleased I was able to keep up with the stitching and not leaving this as a UFO.  I'm planning to finish it as a little wall hanging.

In the mail!

I fervently hope this is the last thing I need to mail for Christmas.  The runner and two mug rugs are off to my aunt.  The bottom picture shows the one I gave to my QBFF this morning.  Pretty cute!

Also I used this self-binding tutorial.  It was very easy to follow and I will use it again.
