Here you see a picture of them on the table.
Very colourful aren't they?
Here I am handing them over:) Well my feline face had to be in the picture otherwise how would you know it was me?Then there has been some knitting for Yule gifts
Firstly a more than single moebius cowl. I wanted to see what happened if I twisted more than once when casting on, It is actually rather warm and comfortable around the neck. Not a failure then. Yarn a mix of glittery rayon I believe, mixed with sock yarn and purple mohair.
Then a more conventional moebius cowl with just 1 twist. The rayon/sock yarn mixture but turquoise mohair added. Pattern a mix of stocking stitch/rib.
This is the BFL double knit yarn I dyed recently. Socks are for a gift also, I'd like to keep these but I'll make myself some once the frenzy of festive knitting is over.I've been asked about next years projects. I'll be knitting with double knit or thicker yarns mainly because my hands are so bad at the moment that I can't feel fine yarns. Also for some reason they have decided to break out in excema once more:(

What an achievement! The BW Party hereby accords you many tax credits for your generosity :)
I'm intrigued by how you get the twists in those neck warmer thingys? And do you knit them in the round on circular pins?
Hi Amber
The socks look lovely and I'm sure they will be well loved by their new owners :-)
As for the excema - have you ever tried udder cream? You can read about it on the http://www.udderlysmooth.co.uk website
I love the stuff so much I've become a retailer of it - in a very small way. I've hardly had any bother with excema since I started using it.
Oh wow.....Amber!!!
Fantastic achievement my lovely.....
You should be very proud of yourself, and the fact you'll make so many feet (and therefore people) very warm and happy!!!
Big Hugs!!!

You can easily start a little shop... nice, those yellow orange ones.
