January Gifted Gorogeousness

Jo's wonderful SAL for all things gifted and giftable is going into yet another year, and of course I'm on board with it! As usual, this SAL is held on the 15th of every month, and I while the linkup is open until the end of the month, I have a bad reputation for checking in right under the wire. Each year I make a new effort to check in earlier, and it usually lasts for a month or two before I fall back into old habits, but as this is the first month of the year, here I am, and I am in time!

 

Despite my new resolution, I still wanted to have a finish to show, so I spent the last couple days frantically knitting away on my latest baby jacket, and finished it just this evening! This one is for another of Felix' relatives - he got such a big family!

I also wanted to be able to show you the next part of my Snuggle Up blanket that I've been working on since I was gifted the yarn for my birthday last year, but I didn't quite make it - I'm still 3/4th of a row short, but as the last row won't change the look a lot, that's okay!

I'm at round 73 of 85 right now, so I think finishing it by my next birthday is not out of the question, which would be awesome!

I suppose the monthly GG post makes for a good incentive to finish up a few things! That baby sweater is darling and definitely a one-of-a-kind gift. I like the yarn that you chose, too. Looking forward to seeing more of your Snuggle Up blanket, Leonore--a bit over two months 'til your birthday! You can do it! ♥

The green jacket looks great, love those colours.
More pretty colours for your blanket, maybe you're done by now since I'm catching up with blog reading?
