Christmas loot

All the frantic knitting is done! Here are pictures of a few of the gifts I made.

Knucks for various friends and family members - the first two are made using the Fetching pattern from knitty.com.

Here's a shot of various pairs of knucks and wool socks for nieces and nephews. All of them were pretty thrilled, which was rather heartwarming. We always worry, don't we, that the gift will be a dud? So disheartening after all those hours of work. I have to say that the knucks were lifesavers in getting the projects done by Christmas Eve. They only take about six hours to knit up compared to around twenty hours for the socks.
