This morning I was talking to an old friend who is in the middle of some hard things. I cannot do anything about the work stuff or the family stuff or the health stuff, but my ears pricked up when she said she had been looking unsuccessfully for a Christmas ornament: she wanted a Santa Claus wearing a mask.
That is a problem I can solve.
I am going to add a pompon to the top of his hat, and I have a bunch of ends to weave in. But he's almost done.
Pete wants me to make one for our tree too, and I think I will extend the mask a little higher (even Santa needs to cover his nose) and make it slightly less rectangular.
I started to write out the pattern, but I got to the short-row section of the beard and the pattern degenerated into "and then I kind of wung it; you can too." I'll pay closer attention next time.
This is charming!

I also appreciate the weigh-in on "wung it" versus "winged it."

I LOVE that you use “wung it,” that is also my usage.
