Lots of Knitting and the final Hurrah for (this year) Christmas Cards

Spoilers! (Fortunately, I don't think anyone who will be receiving these gifts actually checks this blog...).

This previous weekend, we had a lot of snow, so on Sunday, I was really productive --- finished (dare I even say it!) my Christmas cards, wrapped most gifts, and finished one of the last two baby sweaters that I have to make for the holidays. If only the sweater I had finished was the bigger of the two!

Holiday countdown --- really loving the turban(d) pattern, so here's the goal:
1. Finish 2 or 3 more Turban(d)s
2. Finish Little Toboggan Sweater size 1-2 years
3. Write all Christmas card notes and mail out
4. Mail out all Christmas/birthday packages this week

 Here are some of the fruits of my labors...

 Little Toboggan Sweater #1 (size 6-12 mos)


Yarn: Sublime Yarn Baby Cashmerino DK
Needles: Sizes 3 and 6

Turban(d) 

Yarn: Encore Mega (cream) - 1 skein

And a last minute push on holiday cards -- I made 16 of these. Loved how they turned out!
