This is the Christmas ornament so far - had to add some red thread to it but think it will be ok once backstitch and putting together is done

I thought your ornament was going to be a reindeer head made from a square of plastic canvas. I have seen some made a bit like this- but I think they had felt antlers,

@ katiehound - they look cute
I have a confession to make lol - i have only done a tiny bit more. I sort of had a want to do some knitting as it is getting colder and I need a cardi/jacket - my old one is several years old and has gone a bit bobbly with all the washes. My saving grace is I got the wool and pattern as a present - I am a lucky girlso technically it suddenly became part of my stash (my excuse) so I am still busting it! I like making my own as can customise as I am small so need to alter arms etc but i like a longer snuggle type.
The yarn is quite silky and has a really nice feel to it so it is a pleasure to knit which is a bonus though can split if not careful so need to keep an eye on it. Would not like to unpick.
All is going well medically and I am very grateful for how little it is impacting me - still walk child to school some distance and do everything fun and necessary. Am not being silly and everyone happy with everything so one happy bunny. Cold cap good too
hope everyone is ok and life’s not too stressfulFed up with the rain though!!!
