WIP Wednesday

A cold front has made its way up to Johannesburg and it is really freezing here tonight! We have got two fires going to try and warm up our home. Today is WIP Wednesday and this is what we have been busy with this week. Erin and Jenna have both finished their Middle Ages Blocks and so I thought this beautiful castle would be a fun paper craft for them to build. It really has turned out amazing and they loved constructing it together. I bought it from Book Depository with free shipping. There are even jousting knights, tents and people that can be placed anywhere on the castle grounds. It arrives in a book and the castle pieces are cut out, folded and glued together.

I am now onto the 4th round of the yoke of my Shalom, welcome to all the new people who have joined in the Shalom KAL, it is not too late if you would like to join:) You can just leave a comment and I will add you to the list here.

I have also been working on a custom order for a unicorn, I just need to add her horn and then she is ready to ship tomorrow. I have knitted her in the softest mohair, plied with a magical silver thread...

Our two sweet dogs snuggling up together to keep warm, wishing you all a wonderful day...

Mamma4earth Pegasus Unicorn Pattern Giveaway

Happy Monday everyone!
I am having a giveaway to celebrate a new pattern that I have just added to my Mamma4earth Etsy shop. It is for the Pegasus Unicorn Pattern. The pattern is 14 pages long and comes complete with the unicorn pattern and wings and horn patterns. There are plenty of photos to show you how to make the tail and add the mane etc... I have included two sets of instructions for the horn, one is knitted in the round and the other is knitted flat just in case knitting flat is how you prefer to knit:) The body of the unicorn is also knitted flat on two 4mm straight needles and I have used handspun, but DK yarn would be perfect too.

Here are some photos of Unicorns, Pegasus and Pegasus Unicorns that I have knitted over the last few years...



 

GIVEAWAY:

I would like to offer 2  readers the opportunity to win a pattern for my Pegasus Unicorn that will be emailed to their email addresses. If you would like to enter, just leave a comment and email address. The winners will be chosen on Wednesday evening and will be announced here in this blog post:)

Thank you so much for visiting and have an inspired day.

WIP Wednesday, Knitted Horse Pattern

This is my WIP at the moment, I have been working on a design for a knitted horse / unicorn / pegasus pattern... I have been trying to get the proportions just right and make his neck curve elegantly over to compliment his hindquarters. Tomorrow I will add the mane and tail and then he will be finished. I have knitted him partly in the round here, but the pattern will be a flat knit with two needles. The pattern will also have instructions for a unicorn horn and eventually I will add wings as well for a pegasus. I should be listing this pattern in my shop tomorrow as soon as he is finished...

Happy Wednesday :) xo
