My 12 years old daughter Emilie, is very fond of knitting. So for Christmas I treated her to a very large bag of colourful yarn, and expected it to last her a good while. But Emilie being the fastest knitter I know, she used up most of it within the Christmas holiday knitting little toys, and purses.
She is a very creative soul, and not too fond of following patterns, preferring to knit away and then put it together from her own imagination and using what she has available.
So here is a little sample of some of her
Christmast 2017 creations, a little turtle, a pony, a fish and some purses. She also
has started work on a mermaid, photos coming soon.

My sister had presented me with a big, beautiful ball of King Cole Zig Zag yarn and the free pattern it came with, so as soon as I was finished with my cardigan I got started with the socks.
The printed pattern did not come with
detailed pictures, so I went online and looked up a bit on you tube about sock
knitting just to make sense of what was printed. But as it is recommended, just
follow the pattern exactly as written and before you know it, you will have
turned a heel, and knitted a gusset.
Here is a you tube video I found very useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CzPBoxW0uE&index=10&list=PL329hlLfoM6MafdMR-KrQbZZwbGHNcs8M&t=1063s
