Christmas Knitting, Almost Finished
I have almost finished the Christmas knitting that I gave to my husband (incomplete at the time). The socks would be done, but for the fact that I was a few yards shy of completing them. Thanks to a Ravelry friend, I will be able to finish the last toe next week.
And my husband’s Chess sweater by Hanne Falkenberg is finally finished. At first I could not find the left-over contrast color yarn so, I just did the collar all in the main color:
Then, I located the yarn, after an exhaustive search, and looked at the photos online. It is much better with the single row of contrast at the top of the collar, so I ripped it out, reknit it and sewed it down. I am happy that I did so.
Hopefully my husband modeling this tomorrow.

The Chess sweater looks great – you are right about the row of contrast on the colour. Not sure I have the patience for Hanne Falkenberg designs, but they do look good.
I agree with you that knitting Christmas presents is stressful – also that it’s quite hard to avoid, if you are a knitter. But congratulations on almost finishing (I still hav a sock and half a scarf to go….)

Thanks, I love this sweater. Hanne patterns are an enormous amount of knitting, great for vacations as the beach. I have one more of hers to finish, then on to some Fair Isle.
