As most of you must've already known.. I love knitting and crochet.
So, few months ago, I was thinking to do something special this christmas.
Something massive popped up in my mind.
What if, I decorate my place only with hand knitted stuff this Christmas??
Sounds like I'm biting more than I can chew?? Is it really??
We'll see :-)
Why Gabriel?
I was thinking about the project name, some tacky names initially came up. LOL
But, to bring Christmas back to its true spirit, I've decided to use a more appropriate name, so I chose Gabriel.
The story of Christmas begins when the angel Gabriel visited Mary, announcing that she is going to be a mother. But wait, not just any mother, a special one, a really really special one... and the story goes on... and on... and on.
So the project has officially started! Yay!!
To mark this wonderful beginning, I'm proudly presenting the first knitted stuff that is going to be my Christmas tree topper. Yep, up it goes on the tree!!
It's a Celestine star:
The original design doesn't have the beads, I added them to give them a bit of a shine. I think it will make a better tree topper.
I can't even begin to explain how I knitted this incredible piece of art. There is no simple way to explain it, give me a call if you do want to know, I'd rather talk you through it.
