The original name for this knitting project was 'Christmas in July' because I started knitting it in July and finished it in two months.
I decided that I wasn't going to delay starting this project until later in the year because the weeks leading to Christmas are always busy and any knitting becomes an added stress as I rush to complete it.
Instead, I was able to pick it up and add a few rows when I felt like it, or leave it untouched for a week or so without feeling guilty.
The whole process was much more enjoyable because of this, although I did have a few surprised looks at my knitting group when they saw what I was working on.
Now that it is completed, I've decided to call it 'Reindeer in the Snow'.
It's bloomin' amazing! I've enlarged all the photos for a close look and your tension is beautiful. Well done, and how very sensible to tackle it so early. x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mrs Tiggywinkle. I’m very pleased with the results and it is really warm (I only had it on for a photo!). Marie x
DeleteIt is BEAUTIFUL, Marie! You must be very proud of this one, as it is gorgeous! Well done for getting a big project done so quickly!I think it smart to begin a project like this early, because by the time Advent rolls around and the count down to Christmas begins time for personal extras like this evaporates fast. LOVE it!! :))) ((HUGS))
