December Birthday

My youngest DD has always liked and collected unicorns so when I saw this pattern I knew I had to make it into a card for her. The ccs came from 365 cross stitch designs 2015 volume 4. Designer is Durene Jones. The pattern called for a very pale 14 count fabric but when I saw this 28 count “Bahama sky”  Jobelan I knew this was what I was to use.
I only did the unicorns and the snow under their feet. Pattern actually called for the area behind them to be filled with shades of blue (med light to dark) from one edge of the snow to other edge and about 3 inches above their heads.
Can’t be seen in the picture but where there was to be stars I put stitches in for snow.

The Lacey bag outer fabric is from the Anne of green gables fabric line. Inside fabric setting under the bag is just some fabric I found that I thought would go with anne’s fabric.

Couple gifts

Decided to knit some wrist warmers for my daughters. They didn’t take much time to knit up. Both were made from the same pattern Mock cable wrist warmers by Anita Grahn. The pattern does show up better in the plain yarn but I also like the way it shows up in the other pair.

The plain yarn is Red Heart heart and sole yarn in ivory. This yarn was left over from a shawl I had made earlier this year.
The other pair is made from Zed luxe sock in beaver by yarn indulgence. This yarn is so soft and made/named in honour of  Canada’s 150th Birthday. You will find the beaver on our nickels.
I will also be making myself a pair from this yarn once I get the December b-day gift made.
