A Year of Projects Update - Week 25

Oh not long to go until the big day (if you celebrate).  We are off to my mum's on Thursday and the likelihood of me posting on Sunday is very remote, but I will post in the subsequent days.
FO's
I do have finished items, but they have all been wrapped so I have no evidence!  However, I have now completed all 7 gift hats and they are ready for gifting or have been gifted.
WIP's
I am trying to get my WIP's down for the new year.  I have a Christmassy hat that will not get finished, I have a forth sheep that may get finished, a second mitered triangle sock that is unlikely to be finished and I have some Rachel Coopey sock club socks that will be finished but are unphotographed.
Otherwise, I have a pair of my dyed socks that should be finished in the next few days - here they are. They are the Pebble socks by Mina Phillips.

Stash enhancement
I take part in an annual secret santa swap with a group on Ravelry, and my parcel came this week.  It was fabulous.
The yarn is gorgeous and I'm really looking forward to using it (it is from Hazel knits).  It also contained stitch markers, DPN holders, chocolate and tea.  I haven't tried the tea yet but the chocolate was gorgeous!
Hope you all have a productive but restful week and if I don't post again have a lovely Christmas.

    What lovely christmas swap gifts and I love your new yarn colour. The Pebble Socks suit the yarn choice really well and you look like you have made smashing progress. Well done for getting all 7 gift hats done, superb motivation. Have a great christmas xx

    Yes, I got my wips under control for the new year. I think I will start the year with only one!
    Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family also! I am with you about the Wips...I want to finish things but there will be some starts too as I have committed myself...after Christmas is when I can really devote some time to my projects although they're not all fiber related! LOL! Take care and enjoy this wonderful time of year!
