Finished: 2025 Dumpster Fire Ornaments

My back is killing me and I gave up on any semblance of duplicate stitching but my 2025 Dumpster Fire ornaments are DONE!

Pattern: Dumpster Fire 2020 by KinoKnits (Rav Link)

Yarn: Wonderland Yarn and Frabjous Fibers Mad Hatter Kit in the Dumpster Fire 2020 kit

Needles: US5s

Mods: Did not attempt duplicate stitching

These two things were easy and fast to knit but boy howdy did the finishing test my post holiday brain fog. Both ornaments combined used just about 33 grams of yarn which is 113 yards of yarn. I think I have enough green left that I could do one more dumpster and enough flamer colors for a lot more flames that that.

The finishing just about killed me so I am not sure I am super excited to start another one. But it would be nice to finish out this kit……I need to work on my decisions. In the meantime these are for two coworkers to wrap up a weird 2025 and kick off 2026. I hope they like them!

Happy Knitting!!

Santa Yarn

Santa was very kind to me. Mostly because this Knitter planned her own surprise. When I was at SSK 2025, I bought a package of Mystery DK yarn form Supernova yarn at the vendor market. These are the spoils.

This was packed so I just cut one end open and then dropped into my stocking without looking. So it was a real surprise for the morning. I ended up with one skein of her Atria DK (singles) that is on the far left in the Pondering Orb colorway. The other two are her Nashira DK (plied) in a redacted color and her Plowed colorway.

These will likely end up in my hat collection as they they are different types of yarn and really different colors. Which is not all bad, I like making hats or these could be a pop of color in a sweater?

Did Santa bring you yarn? Happy New Year!
