 For Christmas I made my dad some alpaca socks. They're of course well and truly finished by now but in the business of last minute gift wrapping I forgot to take a picture

I ended up making gifts of soap, lip balms, skin creams, pin cushions and beeswax candles and.... I didn't take a picture of a single one. But here they are all wrapped up and looking cute under the tree.
I always put off wrapping gifts until the last minute but as soon as I begin putting them together I remember that I actually love wrapping!

 I also made a sheep tree ornament as a swap with Steph

(and it was so cute that I had to make one for myself too:)

Ive also been working away on the rainbow stripes.
Its getting to the stage where I'm not really worried that ill get sick of it and not finish it but I am concerned about how many wool ends I will have to weave in at the end. That many coloured stripes = a ridiculous amount of wool ends!
I'm guessing Ill try to pass them off as tassels for a good while until I get really bored one day

I cant believe how big it is, I didn't intend for it to be quite so big, It fits on our double bed! It will be great in the winter
