But still, it's time to start planning what I need to knit for Christmas presents.
At the moment I'm finishing off the socks I started last month.
I've got one done, and the other is almost finished. Above is sock number one. The pattern is mermaidia, which is a really pretty pattern based on a mermaids fins. I wanted something either wintery or aquatic, as the wool give me the feel of either deep dark winter or deep dark water, and I couldn't find a snowfall pattern I liked enough.
Anyway I should have the socks finished by the end of this week, beginning of next at the latest, so what then...?
My Grandmother has requested some leg warmers for when she is out walking, and suggested some finger-less gloves for my Granddad similar to the ones I made for her last year.
I was planning on making a cape for the boy with the remainder of the red wool from my shawl, however I can't find a single 'superhero cape' pattern. I can find lots of 'little red riding hood capes' but no superman like ones! Bah!
What has everyone else got on the books for Christmas knits this year?
