Oh Canada! |
Last night I finished my little hockey sweater and was pretty happy with how it turned out. The details have been simplified but there's no mistaking what it is. And it fits! Perfectly!
Too bad it looks goofy. Really, put it on a bottle of hot sauce or any other bottle and it looks ridiculous. The sweater makes the bottle look like a headless hockey player - not at all the effect I was after. It's too big for Barbie and too small for a teddy bear. I guess I'll put this aside until inspiration strikes.
That's the way the cookie crumbles though; not every idea pans out. So it's back to my regularly scheduled knitting. Well, after I get the vegetables chopped and ready for Thanksgiving supper tonight. Gavin is making lemon dill oven-roasted chicken breasts and I'm making brown sugar glazed carrots and baby potatoes to accompany them.

Stuff it and make it a little sweater pillow!
It's beyond adorable. I love the little patch.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Looks great to me. Nifty knitting. Can you post a photo of it on the bottle, though, so we can get a feel for the actual size of it?
Do you celebrate Christmas? I bet it would make a great tree ornament.
It's cute! I say put a little hanger on it, and hang it on your Christmas tree!
LOL - Hang it on the Christmas tree!
You must make a small clothes hanger from wire for your little sweater to hang it from a wreath, a lamp...
It's just too sweet to not show it off.
awww, I think it looks great. What if we could find miniature little hockey helmets?
It is very cool, and your dinner sounds delicious :)
That is adorable. I agree with Jane - a miniature hockey helmet would set it off!
That is the cutest sweater! I agree, make it into a tree ornament!
a tree deccie , or knit a teddy to fit it!
