Normally at this time of year, I’d be deeply embroiled in gift knitting. Of course, this year things are very different and the normal half dozen gifts are being pared down to just one at the moment, given that I have no idea whether I’ll even get this one done in time. My heartfelt thanks go out to online shopping with free delivery which means I’ve bought most of my relatives’ gifts with just a few clicks and not even having to venture out into the rain.
But I couldn’t not make Mr B’s annual Christmas Socks. This will be the fourth year that he’s had them and it’s becoming a bit of a tradition now and given that it’s hard enough to buy presents for him as it is, this is at least one thing that I can give him that he can’t just go and buy himself. 
I’m using the Mini Mochi I bought earlier in the year for these. So far it’s knitting up nicely. It does have a slight fuzzy halo and is a bit loosely/tightly spun in places, but the colours are gorgeous and it’s producing a very jaunty pair of socks.

Those socks are gorgeous!! Love the colours! I love online shopping for gifts too – so much easier than trailing round the shops and then not being able to find anything suitable anyway! Thank goodness for amazon, lol!!
Great socks! Aww! Rose is very sweet. That little cardi in th last post is very cute too. I may have to go and investigate the pattern to make for my first grandchild, due next May. Thanks for the tip about the sleeve length. Ros
Love the socks and I totally relate to the lack of Christmas knitting when you’ve a baby about. This time last year my twins were 8 months and I too did all my shopping online and nobody got anything knitted. I had bigger plans this year but my Christmas knitting extends to having completed the rib of one mitten for my sister. Oh well still a few weeks to go!
