If you want to get a head...

Humour me, if you will, whilst I show off a little.

For the first time ever I finished something that I started knitting! I decided to knit a hat for my sister-in-law, as a Christmas present. I'd recently bought a book of lovely knitted gifts, and I thought she'd like this particular hat, but my previous record of knitting didn't bode well for it actually getting done. However, I persevered (and bought some 'backup' Christmas presents, just in case) and was putting the finishing touches to it at about 11pm on Christmas Eve. Phew!

I was very happy with the results - what do you think?

I've started the matching scarf - I'm sure I can manage to finish it by next Christmas!
