Last night I finished the second of the two Mill Hill Santa’s for my Goddaughter’s two girls.
I started making them something for Christmas a while back but the tradition of a decoration for their very own tree only started a few years back.
The first thing I made for them was their Bucilla Christmas Stockings, in fact the whole family have one.
My Goddaughter Nicola's one
was the first and it was stitched in 1981. The kits have definitely become more intricate over the years!
In 2020 I knitted the girls an entire Nativity, complete with Camel, Donkey and Sheep.
Then in 2021 the tradition of an ornament each started.
First was the hoops which were charts from Just Cross Stitching Magazine.
Then last year they had Mill Hill Snowmen.

Thanks Margaret. I hope the girls like them. Have a good week . Sue x
DeleteThat Nativity is so sweet, Sue! The Santas, snowmen and stockings aren't too shabby either!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Stasi. It was fun knitting the nativity but I wish the Camel, sheep and donkey were in proportion to the rest of the pieces. The girls didn't care though! Have a good week. Sue x
DeleteI left a comment on your previous post about sock knitting.
