Christmas Knitting

It's been a while since I've taken the time to photograph the things I've been making.

This is Pup Tent, made for my dad.  He has a very small head, though, so I'm not sure it fits quite right.

My mom knows by now not to expect a Christmas gift from me on Christmas...it's usually a week to a month late.  I bought some light grey Rowan Kidsilk to make a stole for her--the pattern is the Dancing Cranes stole.
I also bought some blue Malabrigo Merino to make a hat for a friend, who requested one for Christmas.

These are some FOs that I haven't posted till now:

That's the Waffel Hat and Gretel, both in Malabrigo Merino (can you tell how much I love that yarn?).

And some stuff I'm still working on:



These are thrummed mittens from a pattern I got two years ago on a summer vacation to Maine.  The yarn label says Alafossloppi, but not really what company did it.  The fluffy stuff is merino roving.  The insides are all fleecy and soft.   Probably too warm to ever wear where I live now, but maybe I'll move to Alaska in the future or something.
