Baby Aran & Christmas Socks

I've finished putting together the Aran sweater from Knitting for Baby. I just need to get buttons for the shoulders. The people to whom I'm gifting this sweater (dear friends who are expecting in January) don't know if they're having a boy or a girl. I'll wait until they deliver to get buttons- could be "masculine" leather type buttons for a boy, or perhaps a flower button in pewter for a girl.



We had our immediate family Christmas on January 5, since various parts of the family were travelling over actual Christmas. We called it Janimus. I gave my niece the socks I knit for her- she loved them- she's very into socks right now. We also gave her a pair of cute pink Keens- I think they look fabulous with the socks! I think she did too!

There were also some other very nice crafty gifts exchanged. More tomorrow!
