I made this wreath at a class last week, really enjoyed making it and looks lovely on the front door. Hoping it will last until I put the Christmas one up.
Yesterday I was rummaging through a very over-stuffed drawer for something, when I came across this - I’d completely forgotten it - made for rather younger Gdcs to put their T and T goodies in, only I never got around to the 2nd because a) I didn’t think it turned out at all well, plus on the small side, and b) I’m useless at embroidery, so doing the face was a major PITA - I had to undo and start again several times, and it’s still nowt to shout about.
I might offer it to Gdc3 now, though - she’s only 2 3/4 and might like it anyway, and I know the two elder won’t feel slighted once I’ve explained.
Here we are
Embroidery on knitting, isnt easy is it Witzend?
I start off on the left and end up veering all over the shop.
Your wreath is stunning Namsnanny.
Some terrific crafts on here. I’ve started to make pumpkins for my kitchen window after seeing some in a cafe.
I should be working on poppies and angels for our yarn bomb group but I’m having a little break.
Thanks Grannmarie, Witzend
Now for the unseen part of my craft....
Not exactly neat eh?!
Two wreaths are bound together to make it a little bigger.
Most of the objects are just tied on with the wool used to make them.
I have to admit, most of my makes are cobbled together 
.
The odd jumper has turned out ok, but not always
baubles (appropriate name given your knits 
)
Those are gorgeous. Nice and fat looking. My pumpkins on reflection were a little thin. Which suited the wreath I put them on, but I would add a few rows to the pattern to make the next ones slightly fatter and hopefully rounder.
Chances are they will end up just taller and out of shape.
Did you knit yours in the round or flat?
