Here's a little hand-knitting inspiration - cute little mittens that make a garland for aChristmas tree. Have a look!

I admit, I knit a lot of crafty things, but I doubt I'd have the patience to knit a whole garland of these cute little mittens. Scroll through the blog - I've been looking at these as she puts them up - and each one is different, all beautifully made. This looks like something I'd much rather machine knit than hand knit. I love small projects, but you'd have to make quite a few of these. I suppose, if you ran out of patience, they'd be really cute hung on the tree singly. As a matter of fact, I have little hats and mittens my girlfriend made that I hang on our tree every year.
While these must take a long time to hand knit, the machine would knock out the little Fair Isle mittens quickly. I'm impressed at her patience and beautiful workmanship.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm really enjoying making these little mittens. My plan is to have them finished by December 1st and then I will hang them on a little clothesline at work, one each day in December. Joanne
