Blooming Deer!

I can't work on him. I ran out of yarn. It's sad. Hopefully, more Lamb's Pride will arrive from Nebraska ASAP.  I'm ITCHING to work on him! I can't waste this enthusiasm!

I have the three other hooves ready and waiting to have live stitches picked back up and for legs to be knitted.  I wish I could start on the antlers, but I'm afraid to before I felt him, since the antlers won't be felted.  I have a rough idea of how I am going to make the cherry blossoms, but again, waiting for yarn.

Waiting waiting waiting.

But it's not like I don't have plenty of other things to work on in the meantime.

"Blooming" - Phase 1.5

So the main focus of my creative energies at the moment is my entry for Threadknits.  My entry is based on T.J. Zhang's lovely "Blooming."  The plan is to knit this life-sized stag sans antlers, felt him, then add the rack when I stick the armature in him.  The cherry blossoms (also felted) will then be buttoned on.

I'm hoping for him to be a versitile display sculpture for C R Yarn.   You know, that wonderful LYS that I practically live at? That's the one.  (Plus Rita and Candice, the owners, are amazing women who have my utmost respect and adoration.)

Anyway, have some pictures.  In the ones where he's stuffed, he's full of plastic bags.
