It's official: I am obsessed with the Arne & Carlos Christmas ornaments. Behold:
I knit the Snow Crystal ball (red and white) on Monday, the Selbus ball (green and white) on Tuesday, and the Tricolor ball (no explanation needed) on Wednesday. Then last night I stuffed them--they taking a lot more stuffing than I was expecting, and now that I look at it, the Snow Crystal ball could use some more--and crocheted and sewed on the hanging loops. Each ball only took 3 hours to knit, even accounting for feline interruptions.
This is how I'm displaying them, alongside my (faux) Russian nesting dolls.
Aren't they adorable? I'm beside myself with glee at how well they turned out and how great they look on display. I will definitely knit some more as hostess gifts (and probably a few more for myself). All other projects are hereby being shunted aside for the rest of December!
