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 />
