cute quick holiday projects

Still working on those damned thigh-high leg warmers. Really bored of them despite the colorful yarn, but almost done with the first one. My goal is to finish them before it gets warm again.

In the meantime I’m working on things that are much more fun – quick (1-4 hour) little projects to give as holiday gifts because money is tight this year.

My two favorites so far are these cute little star ornaments and bunny nuggets. The bunnies take a solid 4 or so hours to make with all the fiddly sewing and details and stuff and are sooo cute (will update with pictures later).

The stars are so fast I can knit one during a single train ride to work. Here’s a blurry cell phone photo of the one I did this morning. I still need to sew the seam but you can see how cute they are.
