I am obsessed with knitting Christmas balls from 55 Christmas Balls to Knit by Arne & Carlos!
Here's the Christmas pig, not yet blocked or stuffed. Very satisfying! It looks like two balls of Spindrift will make four or five ornaments--this one took me an evening to make. I think it would be fun to make some with names and the year as well.
P.S. The book and the ornament are sitting on a holiday tablecloth my mother embroidered some 40 years ago.
I LOVE the tablecloth!

Both ornament and tablecloth are awesome!

Love the ornament. I have a Christmas piggy, too - but it's a huge stuffed animal who wears a Santa hat. Yours is too cute!

I recently bought this book after seeing it promo'd somewhere - thought it would be a fun way to learn to knit two colors (I know - the hard way). I have successfully completed two - tree in green/white and snowman in blue/white (for a friend's tree). I am using lesser quality yarn until I get better. I also have messed with handpainted yarns in contrasting colorways - really fun. It is a really fun book and I have learned LOTS messing with these quick projects. D. Tanner.
