After a year of off and on knitting, I finally finished my knitted mitten garland, with help from the husband who helped knit the cord the mittens are attached to (yes having a husband that can do things like knit is terrific – I have an awesome husband).\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0I love how\u00a0it turned out – bright and cheery in the colors of the rainbow.\u00a0\u00a0It’s animal-friendly – meaning it can be washed in case someone pulls it off the tree and horks\u00a0a hairball on it.\u00a0 Or pees\u00a0on it.\u00a0 And if they do pull it off, it\u00a0won’t shatter and make a mess for me to clean up or cut little\u00a0 paws.\u00a0 Around here, our inquisitive felines and canines love nothing more than using a tree ornament in a game of hockey all over the living room.<\/p>\n

Here’s the link to the pattern for the mittens – it’s a freebie from Knit Picks – if you’d like to make one of your own.<\/p>\n

Now if I could just get more Christmas things done like put the ornaments on the tree and do some baking.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s hard to want to do Christmas-y things when it’s warm enough to wear shorts…<\/p>\n
