A day late for Yarn Along, but this time it isn’t my fault 🙂 For the last 2 days I have been fighting with Photobucket about uploading my pictures. There really wasn’t much point of a knitting post without pictures??
Remember the knit a sweater in a month challenge in November? Well I did it, if you account for the days I spent working on the fun test knit. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Elizabeth Zimmerman patterns? I’ll sew in the ends once I’m sure it fits and is liked:
I also whipped up a ‘Weeping Angel‘ for my BIL. Dr. Who fans will recognize her from one of the creepiest episodes.
She didn’t turn out quite like the pattern because I forgot the British use different terms for their crochet. But she’s ‘cute’ anyway.
Remember the Snow Family I made for Grandma last year?
When I saw the pattern for this Snow Lady I couldn’t resist. I love her Danish tie-shawl too! The little snowmen are for some others.
I saw this post the other day about making an angel decoration for everyone you lose. I like that idea, but didn’t have the right colour of roving to make one like in the article. So I searched around Ravelry and made this angel:
She’s missing her halo, but hopefully my friend Teresa will have some beads just the right size.
love the decorations. Not a Dr Who fan so no idea what that is all about.
Merry Christmas to you and your family,
Gill
You’ve been having a knitting & crochet frenzy! I love the pattern of the sweater … so different with the cable details across the top. All your little snow people are so cute. We’re big Dr Who fans here …. weeping angels episode was one of our favourites, and we are continuously teasing each other over it. I have a pattern to knit a Dalek for my son, but I think I’ll work on that over the holidays. He won’t care if it’s after Christmas. Merry Christmas!! Wendy x
