Christmas in Coggeshall

Real effort has been put into Christmas door wreaths this year.  I went all round the village and hardly saw one duplicate.

 

Snow!

 Early December in Essex, after a day and night of heavy rain.

It's been a busy time on the teddy bear front.  Using the amended pattern I can make the skin in a couple of hours, but the finishing takes a little longer.

Warm jumper in a 28 inch chest size using vintage Jaeger Matchmaker yarn.

Hat and three pairs of fingerless mitts to use up the yarn.

And some Izzy dolls.  All the above now out of the house and on the way to Knit for Peace to cheer someone up, hopefully.

And, finally, my new project using oddments of Shetland yarn. I'm going for an autumnal hedgerow palette here.
