That was all the gifts. I was finishing up Dad's scarf on Christmas Eve, but everything was done on time. One of my resolutions is to start holiday knitting by February ;-)

Down to the wire

Finally finished the armwarmers for the nieces. I'm not totally happy with them, but they're damn good for a first effort with something like that on small needles. And if the girls want better I can make more for next year ;-)

Still need to tuck some ends on the clapotis (clapoti?) I made for Mom, MiL, and Dan's aunt. Given that it's all of maybe 2-3 per, that's not going to be a big problem. I want to do some blocking of them, but not full-on pinned down.

Have things for other niece and Dan's dad, too. Still need to finish the thing for my dad. Debating making a scarf to match what I made for the nephew.

I'm debating what to make after this. I do know one thing, it will be something just for me.
