Creative Space Thursday – Wool ‘en Shirts

Today my creative space is filled with this…

I treated myself to some Araucania Ranco Multy in colour 324!  Let’s face it when a yarn contains so many colours a number is the only thing that’s appropriate.  It’s 75% wool and 25% polyamide.  It seems really soft (because I am one of the ‘Don’t do wool it itches’ brigade – I think resulting for an incident with tartan pants that my mum made me and made me wear as a child).  I think it’s going to become a cardigan for me.  I also think it may take a while since it’s 4 ply.

And these…

a pile of my father in law’s old shirts that I was sure I could use in some way shape or form.  I think he could have worn a different shirt every day for a month and not got through them which could explain why they are in such good condition – that and the fact that I think he only wore certain ones anyway.

I think they are going to become a Christmas Gift in some way shape or form. Something that I need to get a move on with since we are nearly in December and I have finished, let’s see that would be, ohhh, do I need to take my socks off to count, no because I’ve finished none!

In fact I have been slacking so much that my bunny from last week still hasn’t got a tail!

 

Creative Space Thursday – Body Parts!

This week my creative space is full of Christmas present body parts…

Rabbit – 1 head, 1 body, 4 paws

Frog (yes, despite looking like some kind of box jelly fish it is indeed a frog) – 1 head, 1 body, 4 legs/feet and 12 yes, 12 toes – who knew a frog needed so many FIDDLY toes!

However I also have one finished bunny…

Well almost, he’s still sans tail…

(No bunnies were coerced into revealing their rear ends for the purposes of entertainment)
