Crafts - November 2023

[smallhobbit]

Klimt's The Kiss is progressing, although slightly slower than I'd hoped - probably because I've been busy elsewhere.  And to be fair, originally I wasn't going to do any during the autumn.

Otherwise, it's been Christmas cards of which these are just a couple:

   

I've nearly finished knitting my hat:



And there's one more week to go on my scarf:



I've just started a penguin:



And finished two chocolate orange covers:

I didn’t know that’s what an early penguin looks like:-)
You have been busy :-)

[smallhobbit]

Yet again a case of 'just follow the pattern, I'm sure it will make sense eventually'.

Yes - so far I've done 20 cards!

[debriswoman]

That sounds like how many aspects of my life are tackled :-)

That’s a lot of cards:-)

[smallhobbit]

You and me both!

[badly_knitted]

You have made so many things! I don't know how you dop it!

The Klimt is progressing well, there's a face!

Everything looks wonderful =D

[smallhobbit]

It probably accounts for the limited amount of writing!

I'm not far off halfway with the Klimt - I had hoped to make that by the end of December, I'm not so sure now, so many fiddly bits with one stitch here, two stitches there.

Thank you very much!

It does look like a very fiddly design. You can do it though!

Wow! Your needles have been flying. I like the scarf a lot.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you! The scarf has been great fun - every week you get a new pattern (choice of two) and there's always been something I've liked.

Especially admiring your handmade Christmas cards!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much!

And finished two chocolate orange covers

Huzzah!

[smallhobbit]

After all, what could be more useful?

[corvidology]

Right off the top of my head? Nothing!

[apachefirecat]

The orange covers are absolutely adorable! And I NEVER would've thought of that! =)

BTW, still can't seem to find you on GoodReads? :(

[smallhobbit]

I found a free pattern for the chocolate orange covers and thought I had to try them!

I've sent you a friend request on Goodreads, so if you accept it you should be able to friend me back.

[apachefirecat]

It showed up today! And of course, I friended you back! =)

[adafrog]

Pretty.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you!

[galadhir]

Oh the Christmas cards are adorable! And I love the idea of chocolate orange covers. I was just about to ask if they were boiled egg-cozies, but that's even better :)

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. Yes, I did like the idea of chocolate orange covers - perfect for a couple of family members :)

How great to see the Klimt slowly emerge. It's really beautiful.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much 😊

Apologies for being massively behind! It looks like you were incredibly busy and productive in November. The Klimt cross stitch looks amazing, and I absolutely love those chocolate orange covers! Likewise, I'm impressed by your beautiful Christmas cards, hat and scarf. I'm looking forward to seeing how that penguin turns out. :-)

[smallhobbit]

No problems - I was surprised at how much I got done in November. I'm delighted you liked what I'd been doing. I hope to get another craft post up in the next few days, although the penguin is not yet finished!
