Not getting out much, I was 3 present ideas short, for 40 somethings.

So, I realised I would have to make something for them.

Rummaging through my wool stocks to see if I had sufficient colours and lengths of appropriate yarns, yesterday I set forth.

I have been able to make eldest daughter a cowl and driving gloves in Raspberry to match, because her other things are more 'house preseents'.

Youngest daughter and friend also got the same, but one set was in Cream flecked Aran, whilst the other set was in coffee trimmed with mustard.

Thank goodness for my wool stash, and set of crochet hooks, coming to my rescue.

Thank you Paula. These were crocheted, but I knit also.

Meant to say that, at times I feel like "the old lady who lived in a shoe" when I do a head count at Christmas present time.
Glad I'm not cooking for them all on Christmas Day LOLOL
