Faerie in My Garden


I loved knitting Carrie's Christmas fairy. The pattern is on her Forrestdweller Blog at http://forrestdweller.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/christmas-fairy-knitting-pattern.html. I think he is quite charming.

All my favourite things: a little bit of knitting, four needles, felt and embroidery. In fact I didn't have the right colour felt to match the blue wool, so had to use fleece instead. Not as nice to sew with.

I love the fact he has no features on his face. I think it is a bit early for him to be a Christmas Fairy (I think he is a boy), so we are going to give him to Frankie's teacher, as an end of year gift. So I may well have to make another one for my tree this year. His collar was not very neat, which is why I have added a little button.








He looks quite at home sitting in my apple tree
