WIP: Christmas cards

[catownedanna]

This post's Swedish word/phrase: "Tänkte att jag skulle skriva om mina julkort även här" = "Thought I'd post about my Christmas cards here as well"

For the last couple of years, I've made my own Christmas cards. This year I thought I'd include something knitted. I got some ideas after posting a question in the Pattern scetion and this weekend I started to knit...

I've decided to make tiny sweater ornaments , decorate them, put a hanger in and hang them on a piece of string in the Christmas card. Any ideas on how I could decorate them; "christmasify" them? Cross stitch something on them? Beads? Something golden? Or red? Or green?

Ideas?

That's fabulous, Anna!! - what a brilliant idea! I was thinking of making some tiny socks for the Christmas tree but the sweater cards are just brilliant! How about a nice simple, sparkly embroidered star on the front to decorate?

Very cute! On the white, a silver or blue snowflake would be quick to embroider.

I don't know...it's pretty darn cute without "christmasing" it up at all!

I think it is so adorable! I love the idea of the stars on it - not to christmas-y, but very holiday-y!

That's just too cute! Hmmm... Christmas-ey eh? What about a red poinsettia (sp?) a little santa face, a reindeer, a candy cane at an angle, or a green christmas tree?

Oh my goddess this is sooooooooo cute!!! We need a death by cuteness emoticon.

"christmasify"

I new words

I think a simple embroidered tree would be lovely. Something small and delicate would make me swoon.

You've gotten lots of great ideas! I love the idea of a little snowflake myself. Mostly I just wanted to say how lucky the people on your Christmas card list are to be receiving such a cute little sweater! They are fortunate to have such a talented and thoughtful friend!

Great idea!!! I was thinking of doing knitted items for my christmas cards, but I was going to knit tiny stockings using embroidery thread and 00 dpns. And a magnifying glass.

LOL I'll probably buy a box of cards.
