Bailey's face and top knot needed a trim. I managed to do it this time without making him bald! lol
Snowmen ornaments are always fun to stitch. The copper ginko leaves Grey made help fill out the basket.
Rudolph is rocking the deer in the headlights look.
A Christmas bonbon.
Boneyard, by Stephen West, my car knitting project is finished. It was started in May and finished last week. The yarn is Noro Silk Garden. It wasn't blocked, just washed and laid out to dry last week. There's a spine of yarn overs up the middle, which makes the stripes go up at an angle, rather than be horizontal. It's light, warm and perfect for throwing around my shoulders.
I waited until Friday night to take a photo, after the floors were vacuumed and mopped, as it's 5 feet 7 inches across at the top. I had to stand on a step ladder to take a photo.
Bailey inspects all knitting and quilting projects that are laid out on the floor and this one meets his approval. lol
The next car knitting project is a hat. Nothing fancy, as I don't want to be fumbling with patterns and stitch markers. The yarn is leftover balls of King Cole Riot.
There's 80 grams / 2.8 ounces in the small ball. If I run short, I'll just finish it off with the larger one. They're close enough!
Reminder 1: Cast on 96 stitches for DK.
Reminder 2: Write the pattern in the knitting book, so I don't end up with a hat big enough for a giant.
LOVE your projects - and Bailey! "One more than I have" - applies to my UFOs - LOL - ;))
