Look what I got up to before Christmas ….

This (or rather these) are the reasons I was quiet before the festive season:

Hat.  With antlers.  For Becca (which she loves!)  It’s no wonder I had no time for blogging.  I can’t believe I did so much in two months!

Oh! And I nearly forgot - I’ve finished one of those socks from the Socktopus book.  I made a little error in knitting it in DK instead of 4 ply so it’s really thick & squooshy.  However, on this occasion, (and it’s very rare,) I actually swatched and made sure I had gauge before I started so it does fit!  Result! - Ahem, excuse hairiness of leg, it’s Winter Embarrassed smile
