introduction<br />

I love Christmas! When I was a little girl, my mom always made the holidays extra<br />

special. We decorated every square inch of our house. We had fun traditions like<br />

going to see the Nutcracker every year. We always had wonderful presents and a<br />

delicious meal on Christmas day itself.<br />

Now that I have my own children I find myself doing what I can to make Christmas<br />

extra special for them, just like I remember. One of the things I like to do for the<br />

holidays is make an ornament or two each year, since I get to put my love into<br />

every stitch. Decorating our tree feels so much more special to me when I unwrap<br />

handmade ornaments from our Christmas boxes. It's like the memories of each<br />

Christmas when I made an item come flooding back when I hold an ornament in my<br />

hands. I have put together this little collection so that you can share in the joy of<br />

creating for the holidays, too.<br />

So grab a cup of cocoa and your needles and yarn and curl up with these projects<br />

while you watch chestnuts roast on an open fire. Happy Holidays!<br />

About the Designer<br />

Since Rebecca Danger really, really,<br />

really likes to knit, she started<br />

knitting rather obsessively and<br />

writing patterns of her original toy<br />

designs in February 2009. She really<br />

likes this since it means she gets to<br />

knit all day, tell the government that<br />

all of her yarn purchases are business expenses, and still be able<br />

to afford to feed her family. She also feels quite proud that all of<br />

that knitting in high school and college has lead to something<br />

more than just frowns and discontented looks from teachers<br />
