Happy new year! Hope you had a good night and aren't too hung over. I'll try not to shout too much if you are.
So I thought that I would show you my Dad's present today seeing as I showed you Mum's yesterday.
Those might know that Dad is pretty into his golf so I made him a golf club cover. But not just any cover oh no. It's him in knitted form! Although, I think that I was very generous with the amount of pom pom hair I gave him.
I knitted this on straight needles even though it probably would have been easier to knit it up on double pointed or circular needles.
But it was cool though because it meant that I got to learn a technique called mattress stitch for when I was sewing it together. I love mattress stitch as it helps create a seamless seam. How I wish I had learnt it sooner. Looking back on my past projects, I realise that my seams were pretty shoddy. But still, I've learnt it now. I've actually learnt a lot through knitting all these presents, it's been great!
Oh and the 'R' on the front by the way is his initial not some new fangled golf club.
