‘Betcha Wondered What I Made for Christmas!

Now that I’m back at Sakeji, that Christmas has come and gone, and that I have a little time to breath before the storm, I thought I’d do a post or two of my Christmas crafting. I made most of the ornaments during the August holiday when I was doing my nerd Christmas, and the knitting happened all year and up to the very last minute. I had so much fun coming up with an ornament for each member of the family; finding something that was unique to them and their interests was a challenge and a pleasure to do.

Daddy- As a die hard Star Trek fan from the 70’s, I couldn’t resist when I saw this one!

Mother- Knowing that Mother loves Firefly and knitting, how could I not give her one of these?

Flynn- For the one who introduced us to Warehouse 13, I created this Farnsworth ornament.

Jordan- Since Calcifer is more Jordan’s cat, I had fun customizing this ornament to look as much like Calcifer as possible.

Mary- And since Howl is more Mary’s cat, I did the same for her.

Mercy- Given her love of all things Asian, I thought this would be perfect for Mercy. I didn’t look up the character to make sure it said what the pattern claimed…hopefully it didn’t lie!

Spencer- Spencer is the Star Wars fan of the family, so I made him a Rebel Alliance ornament.

Lucy- Since Lucy got her sweet dog, Captain Jack this year, I thought I’d commemorate the addition to the family.

Jasper- Jasper is pretty much obsessed with Minecraft, so how could I not make him a Creeper?

Finally, I made this ornament for Beth. I must say I'm a little less fond of Smudge after looking after her for several months, but she is still a really cute cat.
