A few Christmas gifts...

Admittedly, these are not the best photos...in the rush to wrap them for Christmas and to finish them they got no proper picture taken. Isaiah snapped these as they were being opened. The penguin PJs for my niece have nice red buttons. Mom seemed to like the apron.

Branching Out

Here is a Christmas present for my mother. It is made of a wool/cashmere blend from the pattern Branching Out on knitty.com. I knit it on two plane rides--to and from Minnesota...quick and satisfying.

A Couple more finished projects....

I have used up most of my kitchen cotton on these coffee cup sleeves (I made 5 of them!) and on the kitchen towel (pattern from the second Mason-Dixon knitting book). These will be gifts, of course.

Golightly gloves and the Ballband washcloth

These are from Mason-Dixon Knitting (the washcloth from their first book and the gloves from their second). Perhaps the gloves are a bit frivolous, but Mark's mom uses rubber gloves all the time and I thought she might like them. A quick, unique knit and I do think she liked them.

So, here is my running total of projects now:
