Hah! The 2007 Traditional Limited Edition Emily Ivey Handmade Christmas Ornaments are finished!

There are 20 total.

These are the Knitted Ornaments from Handknit Holidays (edited by Melanie Falick but the pattern is by Leigh Radford). They were so much more fun and fast to make than I expected – I was shocked that in just a few days of casual knitting I was finished (I got the yarn last Saturday – Lion Wool). I love them.

I have awarded myself one point for finishing ornaments in September and another point for using non-traditional Christmas colors. Christmas has earned a point for the animated lawn Santas that appeared in Wal-Mart before Labor Day. The current score: Emily – 2 Christmas – 1

Tomorrow should be kinda windy and rainy for us because of TD10 (we are in Alabama’s right pants leg). This is not a big deal, we need the rain and for tropical storms all I do is turn over the rocking chairs on the front porch.
