I just finished making the masks and tails for the twins in my Sunbeam class at church. I hope their mother still wants to buy them, but if not, I will have a couple of sets for sale, or to give away to some grand children. I chose to make another fox, although slightly different from the first one I made, and a raccoon. I am quite pleased with the outcome. I wish, however, that I had discovered how to cut fake fur earlier in the project. I was not happy with the straight cuts that were coming out on the fur when I had to cut strips. I finally tried to correct the mistake by lifting the fur upward before making the cut. It worked beautifully. Much to my dismay, some of the cuts were already made and I didn't have enough fur to make more. At least, it is a lesson learned for the next time.
I have been working on baby hats to be donated to the hospital for the newborns. I have finished six and want to make at least six more before I send them off. They are a very easy project, and I can usually make two a day, working on and off. I think it takes about three hours to make one hat. I want to put pom poms on them, but I will wait until I have finished the knitting and make all of them at one time.
