From left to right - Cooper’s red bird. Reagan’s light blue bird. Morgan’s bright blue bird. And Max’s charcoal grey bird. They really liked them! It always surprises me when they like something so much that they will fight over it. You’d think I’d learn after four years that I should make them EXACTLY the same so there would be no one ornament that is better (in their eyes) than the others.
Here is a reminder of the ornaments from previous years.
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Looks pretty great seeing them all together. My original goal is that by the time my grandsons are grown and move out on their own, they will have a bunch of handknit ornaments made by their Nan that they can start their own Christmas traditions with. And of course they will always have a tangible reminder of how much their Nan loves them. Four years in and it’s looking pretty good. I’ve already got ideas for next year.
In other Christmas knitting traditions - I’ve knit my annual socks for my daughter’s boyfriend. I started doing this the first Christmas that he came to visit. So this is his fourth pair of socks.
Max loves knitted socks. He loves them so much that he wears them year round. He wears them so much that the first pairs are developing holes. He wears them so much that he only wants to wear handknit socks and because he only has the four pairs or so that I’ve given him - he’s decided to knit his own!! How amazing is that? I knew this kid was a keeper.
