    About

    A friend in Australia, who is just learning to knit, asked me to make this for her as a Christmas tree decoration, as it was beyond her current skill level. It's knitted on dpns (or magic loop), which I tend to avoid where possible. It took me 3 attempts to get the body of the prawn started (my second attempt was inside out!) but I got there eventually.

      Unusual tree decoration, even in Australia.

        Apparently it's tradition to throw them on the barbie on Christmas Day (not the knitted ones!)

      Certainly not your usual tree decoration. Well done on getting it so realistic!

      A great knit 😍 And I admire your sticking with it too. I avoid knitting in the round of any kind 😂
