This was my last Christmas order and I barely finished it on Christmas Eve. Friend of mine wanted mittens for her father with a little inside joke written on the wrist: "We love you a stinkle bit".

Mittens #41: Frozen Snowlake
I was in love these ones. The colours looked great together, and I love the Latvian snowflake pattern. Easy to memorize and work with. This time I worked brick red yarn in intarsia to give the pattern a little change.
Mittens #40: Snow Flowers
I made a big order of mittens for Christmas and this one was one of my favourites of the bunch. They were for a beautiful young lady, and these colours just fit her very well. I Swiss stitched the white on the top afterwards.
Mittens #39: Hearts Hearts
My friend's daughter turned three years old and so I made her these green striped mittens with pink crocheted hearts on them.
Mittens# 38: Airplane Baby Mittens
Good friend of mine had a baby boy and the theme for her baby shower was airplanes so I got inspired and knitted her airplane baby mittens (without thumbs). It has been cold so they have been very useful! I have knitted one size bigger for my older baby and I am working on a pair for my three-year-old that will have thumbs. I will be posting this pattern on my Ravelry pattern store later.
Mittens #35: Tricolour Latvian
The white I knitted in intarsia and the red and the turquoise is stranded.
Mittens #34: Oh Canada
One of my best friends is Canadian and she ordered a pair of mittens with a patriotic twist for her father for Christmas. I am so excited to post about this now that there is no way I could spoil the surprise!
The top motif is a Latvian one, and she wanted "True", "North", "strong" and "free" on cursive on the wrists. They are from the Canadian National Anthem.
Woolies #8
These colours looked great together so I made a pair of long woolies with lots of little stripes!

Socks #5: Socks For Sara
Socks I made for my sister-in-law. I'm writing out the pattern even though it's pretty simple cable socks.
Potholders #9: Strawberry & Pear revisited with Pineapple
I love combining knitting and crochet! These are double layered potholders, made with 100% wool.
Woolies #6 & #7: Pink & Hearts
I so enjoyed knitting these cuties for my friend's baby girl because all I've got is boys!

Potholders #8: Home Sweet Home Far Apart
I made these for my sister-in-law and her husband who is from Australia when they got married. They are 100 % wool which is highly unlikely to catch on fire. They have a pocket where you can insert your hand when taking things out of the oven. In addition they are double layered (with the pocket, triple layered) with knitted non-smooth texture on the other side for avoiding slipping.
Socks #4: Baby Cable Socks
And once again, when I get some time in my hands I will write this pattern out as well and publish it. I made these to go with the blessing outfit I made my baby.
