Christmas knitting

Thought I'd add a little update on my Christmas knitting!

Ok, so far I have knitted a little something something for my Swiss brother (okay, he isn't Swiss, but he is currently living in Switzerland), something for James (all a bit hush hush) and I can't decide who to give the other one too.


Adam's festive jumper is coming along nicely, so far I have knitted the front and back of the XL jumper, I have started a sleeve and have knitted about 4 inches of it so far. Hopefully it will be finished for Christmas Day!! As I am having a few issues with the new flat and phone lines at the moment, I am guessing it will be a while before I have broadband, so I won't be distracted by Facebook in the evenings, giving me plenty of spare time to knit! :) I am thinking that I may need to give the jumper a wash before adding the penguin in a santa hat to it, as I had a slight mishap with a mug of tea when I was knitting the back of the jumper and even though my Mum got most of the stains out, I can still see a slight tea-coloured tinge to the bottom edge of the back of the jumper!

There is one other thing I was hoping to knit for someone before Christmas got here, I am not sure if I will have time now, but her birthday is in March, so maybe I can knit it for her Birthday instead ;)

I would add some pictures of the Christmas knits so far, but that would spoil the surprise for the people that I knitted them for! I will add photos of people with their knitted presents after Christmas (I'll hopefully have the internet at home then!)

Looking forward to the big move this weekend! - Finally getting a place all to myself with no annoying door-slamming house mates! Can't wait to finally get a lay in at the weekends again!! Woo woo!!
