More Christmas Gift FOs

I was running around like a mad woman finishing packing the night before my flight to SC in December that I didn't have time to post some more Christmas Gift FOs before I left. So here they are now.

First up is the Provence Throw. The yarn used was Classic Elite Provence Yarn in colorway Sky/Baby Blue. I only used a little over 7 skeins for this blanket. I do, however, have 9 skeins leftover to make something else with it. Remember I told ya'll that this yarn was destined to be a different blanket years ago? Well that is why I have so many skeins leftover. Anyway, the recipient of this blanket did remember the yarn from all those years ago and was thrilled to have received a completed blanket. I was told that he was going to sleep under it the night I gave it to him. (BTW, thanks to my photographer Lisa for taking this pic of me with the blanket)

Next up is the hat I knitted for Kim. I used Berroco Touche yarn in colorway Moss. This is a basic hat pattern that took a little over 1 skein of yarn.


Finally, a co-worker of mine had been asking me for a couple of months when I was going to knit him a hat. My response was always the same, "Where's the money?". To his surprise, I knitted him this Basic Ribbed Hat. He did not expect this at all! For this hat I used Knit Picks Shine Worsted in colorway Ebony. I used 2 skeins.

So I'm sure ya'll think this is the end of my Christmas FOs, but let me tell you, I will have 1 more to share on Monday!
