This ornament comes from this Danish blog tutorial from Sofie Legarth. It ended up a little thick from all of the folded fabric and a bit floppy. I think it would work a lot better with pretty paper and a bone folder.
I adore this knitted glove, but even with my love for tiny knitted things, I can't tolerate making four more of these. My wrists ache just thinking about it.
So, I'm going to knit tiny mittens instead. Both the glove and the mitten are from the Mini-Me pattern by Julia Mueller on ravelry.
I absolutely adore handmade ornaments. Do you have any favorite tutorials or examples to recommend. I'd love to see them.

Oooooo, looooove the tiny mitten!! (And although the tiny glove is beautiful it's not worth the pain.)
I'm smitten with Tiny Mitten! I'm happy to say that I have the privilege of owning one of your beautiful ornament creations from the last swap. :)
They're all so cute! Great job, making prototypes and all. I'm telling myself I should get to work on ornaments too, but the Christmas spirit hasn't arrived here yet. We are still in the middle of rain and falling leaves.
Oh, I love, love little knit things. I am going to be crossing my fingers!
Wow - LOVE the mitten!! I tried joining that group but my request is 'still waiting moderator approval' from about 2 months ago! Oh well - maybe next year!
I didn't do this swap this year... Too many other commitments! (Although seeing these sweet ornies makes me kind of wish I had done it! LOL!)
what fun! i love your chosen little mittens - they'll make adorable ornaments.
your knitted ornaments are adorable.
I love the knitted mini stocking tutorial (under free patterns) from littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk
I have made it many times and it turns out great!
I have also made her knitted christmas tree bear but it is a bit more fiddly

That little knitted mitten is adorable! This looks like a fun swap, do you know when they open it each year? I'd like to keep it in mind for 2013.
