Gearing up for Knitting Season

I love to give knitted stuff to my family for Yule. This means I try my best to find washable yarns for my nieces and nephews, and print up little care doobie cards so my sisters-in-law and brothers know how to care for what I give them. I know washable would be easier for them, but when I'm making a dressy thing, I think they don't mind so much the extra care. Most of them have kids in highschool or above, so it's not like they are still caring for toddlers, and most of my stash is the felt-vulnerable sort.
I also have some planned projects for Sean, our Godson, and some things for Oscar I am working on.

No pics of current object of course, as I don't want to spoil any surprises.
Just for eye-pretties, I'll add some pics of things knitted in the past:

Dear Diana,

How nice to find you again. As you, I am knitting more than quilting as of late. I love your cable piece, what will it be when it grows up.

regards, Leslie in the Springs, CO

Hi Leslie!
The cable pattern is the happiness cable (st. John's cable) and it was at the end of a shawly scarfy thing I sent to the Pine Ridge reservation for an Elder's Yule gift a few years ago.

As usual, I LOVE the knit pieces, all of them! (though you know I covet that sock lol) What wonderful eye candy on a gray day here in Seattle!
