Craft - Month 8

[smallhobbit]

I've definitely done less knitting this month, which may reflect watching less television, since I often knit when watching.  However, I did make two owls, partly due to not realising I had used to different thickness of wool when making the base sections.  The first, smaller, version went to my granddaughter and I kept the second, correct sized version.

 

My granddaughter's jumper is finished, but the ends need neatening:



And my William Morris cross stitch is looking good:



No idea what next month will bring, but I can't see myself not doing crafts of some form.

I love your Christmas owls! The jumper looks super, I'm sure your granddaughter will love it.

What colour is the background to your cross stitch? It looks quite dark. Great progress on it!

Thank you very much.

The background is dark blue, which I found quite hard to work on at first, but I'm getting used to it. I think it will look quite effective when it's finished.

Dark colours can be quite tricky for stitching on, but the effect is striking. It's going to look wonderful!

Aw, thank you!
