The year: 2017. The place: Dublin. The project: Winter Wardrobe 2017, aka tiny Christmas jumpers galore. The context: abandoned by my husband so he can "get an education" or something, in the night time no less and left to fend for myself in the wilds of a wet and windy Irish winter. I endeavoured to knit and embroider very small things to distract myself and perhaps to build a tiny army in case of the zombie apocalypse (if there are zombies I hypothesise there will be some sort of magic I can use to animate and infuse a violent defensive rage into the jumpers). Anyway.....as we know, the zombie apocalypse didn't happen even if a political and environmental one did. But not even Brexit and the Beast from the East could stop me making elaborate miniature Christmas decorations. We have to save our own souls somehow. So I present to you a Christmas Countdown documenting my journey through jumper land. I don't have a photo of every one that I made. The demanding Christmas postal schedule meant I had to send some of them off to their worthy recipients before documentation was properly thought of. But there shall be enough to get us to the big day, I really did knit an army! First up we have a jumper for the early decoraters among us. Halloween is over that means the Christmas decoration box is being retrieved from the attic and the tree already has twinkle lights on. Haters gonna hate but for you, the reindeer antlers go on now! #christmascountdown #christmasjumpers #christmas #christmasknitting #miniature #knitting #decoration #christmastree #dublinchristmas #gettinganeducation #winterwardrobe https://www.instagram.com/p/B5h1w91nhif/?igshid=yqfwnx5isoj6
