Sneak Peek of the Next Ornament in ‘Twas the Night

After finally releasing Mr Marley (great SCOTT he took forever) I’m happily designing the next pattern in the ‘Twas the Night series, Little Elves. This is a glimpse of the first draft, hence no embroidery. I’ll add in the embroidery and *sparkle* on the next round of test ornaments. Fun! I’m excited to show you more when I get to that stage.

Note: These little guys are a bit smaller than Santa and Mrs Claus (#becauseelves), so I recommend finding something skinny to help you stuff them if you don’t already have something. I am using my beloved Barbara Willis stuffing fork, which is the regular size, and it’s working fine, however I just purchased the mini to see if it is easier to use on these skinny lil’ legs. I’ll report back.

“But wait, there are no elves in the poem, Larissa!”

Yes! That’s right. No elves besides the right jolly old Santa himself. Don’t worry, we will get to the body of the well-loved poem itself, but I wanted to make a stop at the North Pole first to pick up Mrs Claus and the elves. Thanks for hanging in there with me! 🙂
