this is the one christmas present i can show you right now.  a ball for the babe using the celestine pattern by norah gaughan.  raveled here. it was a fun knit and i’m thinking of making one out of handspun scraps.

m has 1) already seen this

and 2) can’t read this blog yet, unlike everyone else i knit for

i made the mistake of posting stuff earlier than the people got them another year, and they saw them! you never know who might be reading your blog ;)

made with random hand dyed yarn from the stash (not mine) and stuffed with very sheepy smelling wool roving.  i’ll try to get an ‘in action’ shot after christmas.  merry merry to you all!  and if you haven’t downloaded your free tea cosy pattern, get on that.
