Hi all :)
Another Norwegian-style woolly ball has recently enlarged my collection of Arne & Carlos' Julekuler - "Dovre" - finished and stuffed last Sunday afternoon. Apparently it's a pattern seen on children's mittens across the cultures.
(Dovre 8/55)
Easy and pretty fast to knit although it involves frequent switching between the colours which is tricky :) I'm happier now as my woolly balls are more spherical than the 1st ones I made since I started to be more careful with stuffing them. A decent amount of springy polyester and neat careful arrangement inside the ball is the key to a correct shape. Getting there!
I've also tried a bit of yarn bombing using a rose bush in the garden :) It served as a mock-Christmas tree. Can't really wait till I see my julekuler hanging on a real festive Christmas tree.
And here is what they look like together, finished and ready :)
More Norwegian balls to come soon!
Time to check what other crafters have been up to this week at Hand-made Monday blog. Do join in this fun!
Those are just too cool. I have made different kinds of Christmas balls, but I have not knitted any. These are so pretty, but I think they would be too hard. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous.They look so beautiful hanging in the tree.
ReplyDeleteI like your yard bombing, you should extend to the whole neighbourhood!
ReplyDeleteThey're just lovely and look gorgeous on the rose bush. I love the red and white against the green of the garden.
ReplyDeleteThey look so good and will look really lovely on a Christmas tree. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThose are so lovely! What a great idea. They will look gorgeous at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love how you hang them from the tree to photograph. Really nice work.
