Knitting frenzy

As per usual, the Xmas rush has begun in earnest. All of my family's birthdays are in December or early January, and they all live back in the Old Country, so I end up running around at the end of Nov/beginning of Dec failing to send the presents I've panic bought for them.

To make matters worse this time, it's my sister's 40th birthday the week before Xmas. I've decided to knit her a shawl. Unfortunately I have a few things to finish off first. So I'm in a knitting frenzy, and I don't see much light on the horizon.

But first, a finished thing. My finished baby sweater. I know there are people who would argue that it's just a waste to put Koigu on a four-month old, but how could they resist such amazing colours? A. looks amazing in it too!
