Yes, the Christmas knitting is done!

Let’s recap what I had planned:

1. A pair of socks for a young friend in grad school in Scotland.  Finished!!  I loved making these.  They’re a basic 3×3 rib with a 6-stitch cable running up the side of each sock.  Nothing too complex, but I loved the yarn, and they came out great.



2. A bathmat for my great-aunt.  Finished!  Six strands of kitchen cotton held together, knit with size 15 needles.  3 strands of green, 1 pink, and 1 off-white with flecks of color.  Nicely done!



3. A pair of mittens for my grandma.  These went fast.  I used Wool-Ease, so they’re washable.  Not the easiest pattern, but still a quick knit.  Love how they came out!  Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph both mittens after I finished them (but before I wrapped them), so I’ll have to get a picture of them on grandma!



4. A Santa and Mrs. Claus in the style of the Creepy Cute Crochet figures for my aunt.  This was my vaguest idea and least likely to get done, but I did find a pattern, made a few modifications to suit my tastes, and here they are!

So I? Am totally done with the Christmas knitting and can get back to knitting for my favorite recipient – me!
