Nothing much to report here. Sensational Knitted Socks has been great for me. I had my dad try on the first sock to make sure it would fit my uncle, and it was fine. He's modeling them in the picture above.

This was the last in my series of projects for relatives' birthdays this year. I think I like working on things throughout the year instead of only around Xmas; it's much less stressful. Next year, I may work on Xmas presents throughout the year or maybe even take the year off from giving everyone knitted gifts.

In blog-related news, work ended up getting very busy right around the time I took a French class every night, so blahblahblah...boring stuff...the blog hasn't been updated much. It wasn't really that big of a deal, though, since my knitting stalled out around the same time. Here's to more consistent knitting progress in the new year!
