OK I didn't post all the Christmas presents, but here's the finished (and unfinished) list:

Grandmas - ribbon bookmarks and knit washclothes
Grandpa - Felted Clogs
Dad - Grey Mittens
Becky - Thrummed Mittens
Mom - Sock kit with yarn and lace pattern
Tom - "Tom is my friend" t-shirt
Sean - "Don't Panic" t-shirt, and unfinished mittens
Mary - Felted kitten
Chris - a screwed up t-shirt :( and some models
Heather and Chad - unfinished quilt, movie, and popcorn
Angela - t-shirt, fabric, and wallet
Jenny - Mrs. Beetons

Phew. I just have the quilt left to finish, and Sean's mittens. I'm very glad to be able to eventually make something for MYSELF again.

Grey Mittens - Done



The mittens for Dad are done! I'm a little sad, because they look sort of boring and like I didn't put effort into them, although I really did! They turned out too short so I had to rip them both back and reknit the tops. It's not like I could embroider anything on them for Dad though lol. He wouldn't even wear the purple shirt we bought him :)

Grey Mittens - 1



Liner mittens for my Daddy :D They're made of Patons Classic Merino, on size 6's. I'm mostly through the thumb gusset for the second mitten, but I have to rip back the first and add a few rows, since the round-topped decrease means it's a little shorter than normal, and they're almost tight on my (admittedly) large hands. Dad's are bigger though, so a frogging I'll go!
