Xmas Hang Ups 2024 Part 2

 Xmas Hang Ups 2024 Part 2

Well after the silly mistake I have Restarted with the Correct Needles.

10 Rows

I have now completed roughly 10 Rows and the Cord is beginning to take shape. As you can see in the above photograph it is resembling Tinsel.

Finished Tinsel

I have finished Knitting and Cast Off. The Tinsel is now at least a Yard long or for those that use metric nearly a Metre.

Adding Decorations

I can begin to start Adding the Decorations. Taking one end of the Tinsel I start to Slide the Decoration on. Once in the right place I then make a Knot in the Tinsel. This secures the Decoration where I want it.

I continue Sliding the Decorations on and Knotting in place. I try to spread them out evenly.

Hanging Icicles

Voila. I know have a new Hanging Icicle Decoration for Xmas and it didn’t cost me a penny.

 Xmas Hang Ups 2024 Part 1

I have jumped order so that the Xmas stuff is together.

I won some Xmas Decorations from a Charity Raffle. The question was how was I going to put them Up. Then I had an Idea.

Sparkly Yarn

I had some Sparkly Yarn left over from another project. See below for links.

Casts On 3

This is going to be another I-Cord Project. I Cast on 3 Stitches to begin with. Without  turning I continue to Knit. This means the Yarn will be brought forward on every Row.

Restart

I had barely started before I realised that I was using the Wrong Needles! For this kind of Project I need Double Ended Needles and not Circular. 

Even simple Projects can go wrong if you are not paying attention. I will just blame my boyfriend as usual lol I will have to Restart.

Mini Pudding Puzzle 2024 Part 8

 Mini Pudding Puzzle 2024 Part 8

The final furlong. The end is in sight.

Long Needle

If you remember that far back this Kit came with a Long Needle. Now I get to use it. The Pattern goes a bit into overkill at this point. 

It says take an ordinary Needle with Double Thread, Secure it, Cut at Needle End and change to Long Needle. Push Needle through Pudding and Back again.

Pull Tight

Pull the Thread Tight and it will Flatten the Bottom. I think I Pulled a bit too hard but it worked. I then Secured it at the Topside and Cut the Thread

Stitch Leaves

With the Base Finished I could add the Leaves. I am not sure if they were supposed to be in two pieces or whether they had got ripped. I Sewed the Leaves on using a Backstitch which gave the impression of a Stalk.

Yummy

I added the other Leaf and then Sewed the Berries in place. It is so realistic that all that is missing is the Cream or Custard. Yummy.
