Secrets no more

This Santa never actually was a secret. I needle felted him for mom last year but added his sack this year and gave it back to her a few days before xmas. This Santa's style was inspired by a print on a throw pillow that my grandma puts out at Christmastime.

Green/blue socks for my mom are Lorna's Laces yarn in Broadripple pattern. Easy to remember this pattern without referring to the written version, so it was a good on-the-go project.

Purple stripey socks for Brenda are Opal's self-patterning sock yarn in the basic K2P2 pattern from Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles.

Slippers for Scott are Fiber Trends clogs pattern. Just yesterday he figured out that I made these, didn't buy them. :-)

Necklace for my mom is made from one of Scott's lampwork beads of dichroic glass, with three loosely braided strands of assorted stones, crystals, and Bali silver beads. Bali silver magnetic clasp with adjustable length.






Boy, the spacing options for blogger posts are really awful. Sorry I can't figure out how to align things better right now.
