I went to the yarn store on Halloween. I took the day off and wanted to do something fun and what’s more fun than a yarn store?

When I got there, they had a sample of a knit ornament on the counter and I loved it. I’d seen it online, but there’s nothing like seeing things in person. Luckily, they had one pattern left so I bought it. The pattern is called ‘Deck the Balls …. with leftover sock yarn’ by KalamazooKnits. The pattern is written for circulars, but it’s easily done on DPNs. Also, I did have to rework the pattern a little to match my gauge.

I didn’t feel I had a lot of leftover sock yarn so I bought this: Jitterbug by Colinette in the colorway “Mardi Gras”. I just love rainbowy yarn.

Here are my first two ornaments:

Made with Colinette Jitterbug colorway ‘Mardi Gras’

Made with Dream In Color Smooshy colorway ‘Ruby River’

These are so fun!
