Last minute Leah - part two!

I was still finishing this ballet wrap cardigan mere minutes before meeting my friend Maggie to exchange Christmas presents but I managed it! 

My knitting skills are still pretty basic but on this occasion I'm going to blame the pattern.  I made the extra small version but it still swamped my size 10 friend and looked lumpy and mis-shapen in places when she is anything but!

And the award goes to...

...my team head but I can assure you I was not being a sycophant, it was the prize in a baking competition I organised at work.  Previous prizes included a wooden spoon model of the winner and a customised chef's hat - well it keeps me out of trouble!  I got this fab pattern from Mittens and Makings - do check out the brilliant blog and other great patterns!
