I love winter and the holidays. Icy cold air, the sun sparkling on the frost, it’s such a magical time of year. I think of movies, knitting, and a hot cup of cocoa (with mini marshmallows)

I have had the knitting bug through out my pregnancy with beautiful baby E.  And the bug continues to bite with the cold weather. Most of these projects were really fast . I have been google-ing “crafty mom blogs’ for months and have found some really inspiring woman who create awesome goodies. So some of my patterns were freebies online, some were from books, and some from single patterns…. But everything I used came from the wonderful, magical, Knitterly <3
