“A White Christmas”

And now one for my tiniest tiny, Amelia Thimble.

Amelia’s jingly Christmas set is hand knit with lace merino yarn. Her dress is knit in an off white and her Santa hat is knit with yarn that I hand dyed to a light red or berry-ish color. The fuzzy mohair/silk yarn adds a Santa-like “fur” band of trim.

The hand embroidered motifs are itty bitty (just like Amelia Thimble), but oh, so festive.

Here is Amelia Thimble posing with Sugar shortly after I completed their winter white sets, happy girls. They cannot wait to help Santa this year!

Puki’s White Christmas

Here is the first of my winter white sweater dresses. Sugar wanted to go first, so I told her that would be fine if it was okay with the others, and it was.

Sugar’s dress is hand knit with off white merino lace yarn. The “fur” trim is knit with mohair/silk lace. Her little embroidered Christmas motif is of holly and greens placed asymmetrically at the waistline.

Sugar is wearing white lace tights too.

What a ham she is!

Sugar says, “Thanks for stopping by!”

Patience is “Preparing for Christmas”

This cute little elf is ready… ready to start preparing for the holidays that is. Patience says there’s nothing like donning a Santa hat to get in the holiday spirit. She thinks everyone should give it a try.

I guess I’ve been hoarding this Christmas fat quarter cotton print. I’ve had it for years and was inspired to make an ensemble with it this year. The evergreen boughs and ornaments/berries are colorful in a warm and cozy way. I added lots of shiny golden accents to accentuate the golden yellow berries and the light golden background. There are quite a few shades of red in this print; perfect for adding red knitwear and two colors of berries to the sweater and hat embroidery. And, of course, I had to add some pine green for Christmas.
