We have a super fun holiday combo-kit being released for the first time today. It’s a doozy! Please note this is a preorder kit. Let me jump right in.
This new Holiday Kit combines a couple of the projects from the Good Tidings Box from 2023, the Scandinavian ornaments and the stripey snowflake mittens. You have the option to knit both patterns but you could also just focus on the mittens or just the ornaments if you prefer. There are several unusual items and options included in the kit so read carefully.
Here are the pattern descriptions for the Holiday Kit:
Good Tidings Ornaments
I love seasonal ornaments. I especially love the old-fashioned ball-shaped ornaments of yore. I created my own knit traditional ornaments with 6 Scandinavian motifs for you to enjoy. The motifs include a bird, pine tree, moose, flower, snowflake, and heart. I even made an ornament cap, mine all in red, just like the tops on the traditional ball ornaments. I used a separated strand of yarn for the hanging loop. I love these ornaments so much, perfect for gifting or keeping and for making your own traditions.
Good Tidings Mittens
Mittens are one of my all-time favorite projects to knit, this stripey pair really hit the spot. This is my go-to fingering weight mitten pattern. You can stripe away, make a one-color pair, or do color blocking, maybe your signature mitten is one color with a red thumb. Go to town. The pattern is written in three sizes for adult-size hands. I give a little guidance for making fingerless mitts if that suits your climate better. I embroidered a snowflake scene on my pair for extra wintery fun. I hope you will enjoy that, too.
Included in the Holiday Kit:
* Printed pattern booklets for both patterns, Good Tidings Ornaments and Good Tidings Mittens.
* PDF digital download codes for both the ornament and mitten patterns. These come on printed cards found inside your kit bag.
* 9 smaller skeins of Wisconsin Woolen Spun Fingering Weight yarn, enough to make 6 ornaments (and many, many more) and one pair of mittens using the various colors in different combinations. The colors included are Birch (creamy white), Oats (oatmeal), Forest (dark forest green), Laurel (mossy green), Jam (red), Cornflower (medium blue), Blushing (light pink), Stone (heathered brown and gray mix), and Rain Shower (heathered light gray).
* Optional Add-On: We are throwing in a fun mystery item from the Good Tidings Box from last year. We have several of the "extras" from the box left over and we want you to be able to enjoy them.
* All of this comes hand-packed in our printed canvas project bag with an illustrated tag by Susan.
