As I commented in the Christmas Challenge, I have an ornament completed. It is basically made from a baby’s sock, stuffed and embellished to become a stocking. I honestly can’t remember if I followed an exact pattern (as it was knit several months ago). I was experimenting and made it in a 4 ply cotton. As you can guess, the second sock was never completed, hence the holiday transformation! The candy cane is a pipe cleaner wrapped with red cotton and the small pressie is a chicken stock cube.
When I have actually designed an ornament, I’ll post that pic up as well. Maybe something felted. Guess I was just a bit over excited at the idea of being the first to complete the challenge! Ho Ho Ho
So, I was at the witty knitters group tonight, and I brought up an idea I had been thinking about.
Here we all are, coming up to Christmas, and we’re all knitters….(correct me if I’m wrong)…..so…why don’t we challenge ourselves a little bit?
Why don’t we each come up with a design, and then follow it through, for a knitted ornament for the Christmas tree?
I brought it up, I got a few “oh no”s but I think it may be a winner (wink wink)
Unfortunately, I wanted to have it done by next meet-up (4th Dec) but as Elaina pointed out, maybe by Christmas itself it may be doable. Its a hectic life!!
If you want to join in, please do!!
