As Christmas is over, I can post the rest of the gifts I had been knitting.
All of these were for my mother:
Pattern: Entrlac Scarf
Yarn: Plymouth Yarn Boku
Needles: 7
This took a while as I stopped knitting it for the commission knitting. I didn't block it, since I wasn't sure if mom would like it one way or the other.
Pattern: Aran Isle Slippers
Yarn: Malabrigo in Buscanda Azul
Needles: 6
I knit the largest size on smaller needles, as I wasn't getting gauge. Unfortunately they turned out too big after blocking. Mom is going to unblock them, and if that doesn't work, we'll felt them a bit. I don't think mom was too pleased with them. Pattern: Calorimetry
Yarn: Malabrigo in Buscanda Azul
Needles: 6
Made this with the left overs from the slippers. I made a mistake by not knitting both sides evenly, so when I was doing the short rows back, I had too many stitches on one side. I fixed it, but then knit too many rows. I had to cast off two rows early so I would have enough yarn. I think this will be used the most. Mom puts a handkerchief over her hair when she cooks or cleans, and this will be a more stylish alternative.
