I have spent much of this last week trying to solve the problem of Rudolph. I had done the legs, and head, but had underestimated the amount of wool it would take (I had been using remnants from other projects). So after going round every yarn store I could find in the local area trying to match the wool, I could not even get close. I eventually remembered that the wool I was using was sat in the wool basket as part of an unfinished hat. So, hopefully that is the problem solved, and I will have enough wool to finish Rudy off in time for Christmas.
And as for reading, well, not really managed to find a spare moment this week, you can tell it is busy, as my copy of The Mother magazine came through the door this week, and I haven't even managed to flick through it yet!
I am sure Rudolph is going to be beautiful, I look forward to seeing him finished :) x
ReplyDeletePhew, glad you managed to get enough yarn to finish him, he's really cute!
