Snowball Fun with Ulla, finished aran.
Scandinavian Snowball Fun by Lynette Anderson
Find a friend like Ulla who is sharing her finished quilt today also, and stitch 3 snowy scenes in circles.
Just add a Christmas Pudding looking background.
And charm squares in Scandinavian Christmas fabrics.
I used a red marble as the border.
Lovely Husband’s Christmas present is finished.
I am so glad as it means I can play with other ideas during the hols.
5 types of cables: 2 are mirrors of each other to give symmetry to the jumper.
I think it is likely that these sorts of textiles were being made well over a thousand years ago by Vikings as you see similar patterns in metals, some art and some surviving wood. It is a nice feeling knitting in front of a fire and thinking of how the crafts have been passed on to us for generations. Surely passing on a skill is one of the best Christmas presents you can give?
