A month in knitting: December 2014

Off the needles
Rudi
A Christmas jumper for my son, which I've already written about here.


Antiquity
A beautiful pair of mitts for a friend, technically finished last month, but I didn't get round to blocking them until this month. You can read more about them here.


Chouette
A pair of hats for a friend's daughters. Hopefully they've gone down well as Christmas presents.


My daughter's stocking
Finished just in time for Christmas!

 
Ballerina Ruffle Skirt
Made for my friend's daughter. The yarn was a pain to work with, but I love the finished effect.



Summer into Fall
So cute! Just need to wait for my daughter to grow into it now. You can read all about it here.
