Snowman

Awwwh! I just wanted to show you this little cutie. Yeah, I know it's early, but I needed a quick softie to knit and the first stash yarn I grabbed was white so, I had to knit him!

I knit him last week whilst watching Raw and his scarf & hat whilst watching Iron Man 3, so he didn't take long at all.

I used the Angus the Attic Monster pattern for the body and made the rest up myself. The hat and scarf is knit out of GnomeAcres Superfine SW Merino, Silk and Stellina DK Sparkle in the Mistletoe colourway from last years Christmas collection. I'm quite excited to see if there'll be more this year.

All knit on 3mm needles.

And now he's just being cute, sat on top of a clock, waiting, waiting for those Cola Lorries to appear!

Christmas Trio

I got the patterns for the snowman and reindeer from "Christmas Gifts and Decorations" that came free with KnitToday magazine. But I created the Santa using the base pattern of the snowman/reindeer but altered it enough for mister Claus!
I knit his nose in the same way, but on a smaller scale. I also crocheted his beard, in a novice like fashion.

These guys are all knitted from my odd balls of yarn. The reindeer is actually a very dark brown with felt antlers and eyes.
The snowman is knitted in 3 different types of white yarn! his head/body is a yarn spun with a shimmery thread through it, his hat trim is a fluffy yarn, bit like sidar snowflake, but a smaller brand, and his scarf is a simple DK.

The reindeer's scarf was knit in the round whereas the snowman's was knit flat in garter stitch.
