The 12 Ornaments of Christmas (Reprise)
Christmastime is here!
It’s time for a little (knit) cheer!
Cast on one of these, and soon you will see:
a festive cute tree before thee. 

It’s a wrap, folks! This year was our second time around knitting and crocheting our way through the holidays, making ornament-sized takes on everything from sweaters to Christmas cookies. Once again, I personally had a blast designing tiny things with tiny skeins of yarn (thanks, Lion Brand!). Since the holidays can be crazy and often filled with gift knitting, I say we find a way to tackle making these in the off season, so to speak, next year. These ornaments are all fun to make in a single sitting, making them great beach & vacation projects. I think doing a Christmas in July ornament-along next summer with tons of prizes is in order! Stay tuned and have a happy holiday! :)

Real quick – I’d be remiss if I didn’t plug how to share these around the internet, especially in case you make any of these this summer! You can share them in our Ravelry group or Instagram & Twitter with #handsoccupiedhohoho.

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
