It’s done!!
I started knitting these way back in April, felted them last month, finally sewed on the straps last week, and finished the embroidery today!

Scarf for littlest sister
Fluffy socks for littlest sister
Wall Art for littlest sister (ok, so not necessarily knitted)
Hat . . . → Read More: And the Christmas knitting starts
