The final gift knitting tally!
10 pairs of socks...
3 sets of slippers and a belt...
10 assorted scarves...
9 different hats...
4 more slippers and a pair of socks...
And a rather nice lace shawl!
2 more scarves, (the mohair one has big tassels on the ends...
And the "not quite done" stuff...
green cotton socks for my MIL
Knit Picks cape cod socks for Hubby
Cotton sweater for Hubby
Fish Hat for Son
so the final tally is:
41 complete
4 incomplete
7 total charity (2 to my Guild, 5 to my Mom's church)
52 in total! Man, I've got to scale back next year...
So, since no one got it right, and there were so many variables, and since 11 people entered, I figure, prizes for everyone! To make up the difference in 8 prizes and 11 winners I will throw in: 2 sets of beaded stitch markers, and a mystery prize! If you choose the mystery prize, you never know what kind of yarn you will get! You'll have to trust me! I used the random number generator, and came up with the following order:

See, I knew photographing all the masses of things you made would make for amazing photos! You did a great job and the pic of the hats is my fave.
So whatcha gonna knit now for YOU?
You are a knitter to admire!! I will have to keep plugging away to even come close to meeting your grand totals for ALL of next year!!
I don't think I've knitted that much in the past 5 years total! Thanks for making my day! My week! Now we get to see all the relatives and get sick all over again :)
What a pleasant surprise on Christmas morning! Boy you've been busy!
Wow, I was pretty close to my favourite number of 42 completed projects - congratulations! Ripley says when he wears a sweater that I have made he can feel the hugs in it. I hope all your recipients feel your love too. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
