Where has the time gone?

Gosh, cannot believe I haven't posted since November 9th! Where has the time gone...

I did finished my Christmas knits in time but unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures!

Shawl for MIL - there is a piccie of this one...
Sweater for FIL
Dishcloths for teachers at school
Mini Christmas bags for DD

DD came home the day before she broke up and said she wished she had presents for her friends! We ran out to search the shops and ended up with some some chocolate coins which I then knitted little red bags with white fur tops and crocheted drawstrings for her to put them in ... you know the sort don't you? They went down very well apparently!

I was very lucky this year and had loads of knitting bits for Christmas from hubby, mum and MIL & FIL. Hubby and I saved hard all year allowing us to spoil each other as well as the kids! (Pictures to follow which will also include the gorgeous white filet crochet top mum made for DD!)

With the panic of Christmas over, I am concentrating on one thing at a time and am starting with my Central Park Hoodie which I began quite a while ago.

I had done the sleeves and was up the armhole on the back when, unfortunately, I had to frog everything as it didn't look big enough. I have cast on again and completed the ribbing - it looks a much better size now!
