Thanksgiving ornaments

More ornaments! Will it never end? Maybe not, I'm still having fun! This time five big ones. Three from the book, and in honor of the Thanksgiving day dog show, two dog themed ornaments using fair isle patterns from the little Vogue book of Knits for Pets.

Next: Beads! Stay tuned!

It's magical!

The knitted ornament frenzy continues.  Here's the latest crop:



Experimenting with different colors, yarns, etc.  I scaled the basic pattern down to make a medium size and a small size as well, and boy are those little guys cute!  And fun to make; they work up in just about an hour vs. about three for the standard (largest) size.

The Houdini socks have progressed, got the feet done.  I now have two closed tubes, each with a toe at each end.  Sorry, it just feels silly.
Tomorrow at knitting group I guess we'll steek the ankle openings and start up the legs.  I can't wait to see how they fit, especially in the heel.
