…when Christmas came early to Court Cottage.
We knitted mini-Christmas stockings:
And festive bunting:
We also appear to have served the tallest Victoria sponge EVAH:
The stockings are fun and quick to knit. I teach them knitted in the round, toe-up for maximum neatness and speed. No seaming, and so fast. Also, highly addictive. Using 2 balls of Rowan Pure Wool 4 Ply, I reckon you can knit 11 or 12. I have 10 so far and have some yarn left over.
The bunting is also fast and super-easy. This I knitted in Rowan Pure Wool DK, using oddments of Kidsilk Haze, a few beads, some sequins and so on.
I really enjoyed knitting these. I was listening to a festive*, deeply grisly murder mystery set in Rome as I knitted. This may have contributed to the speed with which I was able to turn them out.
*ironic reference.
I will be teaching this workshop next autumn and winter at yarn stores if asked, so if you fancy that, keep an eye on the blog.
