I thought I had better let everyone know I'm still alive

I haven't posted for what seems like months which looking back is only one month with a post earlier this month to wish happy birthday to a friend. I have knitted a lot of my Christmas presents this year and in the last month I have been madly sewing in ends, b locking and sewing up seams. I have finished that now and have managed to make something for myself with yarn bought from our local Aldi's store. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and have had to be very firm with myself not to start before I finished the Christmas Presents.
I have been keeping up with everybody but commenting rarely In will try to do better after Christmas.

This is what I made for my Christmas present to me.
