Carry on Cowboy

Way back in September I posted about all my unfinished projects, my craft projects:

• I have some cross stitch I have not picked up in months (if not over a year) and it has not that much to do on it but yet it remains untouched.
• There is a bookmarker which I enjoy making which has yet to be finished. Trouble is I started another. I think I might need to sell these
• An ornament I made just needs its ribbon re-stitching on there.
• There  are some knitted hearts that I need to do something with
• Knitted juggling balls just need finishing off and bells attached
• A purse needs finishing off and the crochet by my mum needs attaching Cannot show a picture as it is a present for someone. 
• A pom pom explosion has happened and I have had a fanciful idea of making a rug… it has waned somewhat.
• Then I saw some entralac knitting and wanted to have a go….. The picture of this on my earlier post has been abandoned, it was my test piece. I have started another bit, but that is languishing. I might finish off the ball of wool and add it to my bag of test pieces! 
• But I am in the middle of knitting a cowboy and here he is 

It started way back here

And then progressed to what you saw back in September

Luckily he is now able to speak and hear

Of course he cannot do much without the appropriate chaps!

It needs to be fixed on correctly all the way round

Although he will never be able to stay on his horse without arms

And to make him look like a rather sophisticated we need a scarf and hat to complete the ensemble

He is rather taller than other dolls that I have knitted, but apparently John Wayne did not wear hats like this!

I am pleased to have ticked some things of my ever-expanding list – so the list looks like this now

• I have some cross stitch I have not picked up in months (if not over a year) and it has not that much to do on it but yet it remains untouched.
• There  are some knitted hearts that I need to do something with
• Knitted juggling balls just need finishing off and bells attached
• A pom pom explosion has happened and I have had a fanciful idea of making a rug… it has waned somewhat.
• Finish Entralac knitting square test piece
• Finish the gloves which I started to  – A. to see if I can remember knitting on four needles and add a cable into the mix as well. B – to stop me snacking. Christmas present?
• Of course I have a Christmas Decoration that needs finishing. A kit I bought when I went on my annual outing to the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace. 
• I did but some snap fasteners at the show and have actually used some material I bought from a previous year and made two little purses. Rather pleased with these as I am not really a machine sewer and only tend to do the basic things.

So plenty to keep me busy and I must get on with it really so if you will excuse me………
