Christmas projects

On a change of subject, I have recently completed two pillowcase projects for my neighbours as Christmas 2012 gifts. I began knitting the edgings in May 2012, which was continued on and off over the autumn. I attached these to the pillowcases in quiet moments throughout December (yes, I left it to the last minute...) whilst keeping warm by the fire.

Here's the end result:

Besides cotton, as above, I knitted wool socks and a cuddly rabbit in 2012 and a polo-neck jumper (nearly finished). Pictures to follow another day.
