Hallowig mess

As it's Halloween today, here's my Chamber of Horrors...



I've really messed up the decreases. It looks nothing like a sleek parting - more like someone who has been tarred and feathered.



That long piece of thread is supposed to be the slipped stitch. The more I look at this disaster, the more depressed I feel. So it's off to the froggy farm for this Hallowig.

On a happier front, I'm ploughing through the Christmas Surprise.
I don't want to give too much away, but here's a close-up...


I've used a combination of Rowan Linen Drape (shade: Bleached), Berocco Lazer FX and a couple of mystery yarns to add some texture.


I might graft in the odd row of Paton's eyelash yarn.


The ends are curling in, however. To combat this I will either I-cord or crochet the border.
