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… :happydance:
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?
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?
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?
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.
That is sooooo cute! What an awesome idea! I would love to do something like that myself, but I’m lucky if I manage to get all my (store-bought) cards out by the 25th. :roll: :wall: I need more hours in the day!

Thanks for all the thumbs up, ladies!!! And for the nice comments and the ideas!
I got myself some embroidery thread yesterday and will start testing different designs this weekend. I think. I got four different colours (silver, white, red and green) and they all sparkle. I thought that would look neat…
I also got myself some red yarn so I can make some red sweaters too. And some with both colours…
