Crafts - November 2021

[smallhobbit]

Apart from Dare to Dabble classes I have continued with my own craft projects.

Mini Hobbit's cardigan is progressing well.  Both sleeves are now finished and I've begun sewing up, prior to knitting the neckband and button bands.



The Christmas kit I'd ordered failed to arrive (or, as it turns out be despatched) so I had a refund.  To make up for its absence I knitted another square for my throw, the next in the botanical gardens set - cornflower.



And I also completed my gingerbread man:



I cross stitched the last of my Christmas cards, this one for my mother:



As well as stitching a fairy for Mini Hobbit, instead of a card, and a robin for our own tree:

So many lovely things! I love your little robin decoration, I think that's the only thing I hadn't seen yet.

Looking forward to seeing the cardigan when it's finished.

Thank you. Yes, I finished the robin decoration today, otherwise I've mostly posted as I've gone along. The part-sewn cardigan just looks like a mound of knitting at the moment.

It will look like a cardigan soon.

All very nice. As usual, you look busy.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I like to do something, preferably both cross stitch and knitting each day - I am supposed to have the time now!

Wonderful work! You are so talented!! My favorite hands down is the gingerbread man; he's CUTE! :)

Thank you very much - you are very kind. I'm delighted you like the gingerbread man.

Nice. I especially like the cornflower.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I was particularly pleased with how the cornflower turned out.

Mini Hobbit's cardigan really is progressing well! I love the cornflower knitted square and your gingerbread man.

I'm sure that people will really appreciate receiving your beautiful cross stitched cards. Those ornaments are wonderful as well.
