Cerrertonia Nov 2024 7:22pm, 28 Nov 2024 22,372 posts	0 Cerrertonia This more craft than knitting, and not a great photo, but this is what I made today. About 20 years ago, I made a family of 4 reindeer from hazel coppice and some firewood with the 'help' of my children. Only 2 were left last year, and their antlers and legs got wrecked by one of the storms, so a replacement needed in time for Christmas. This is willow an much too lightweight to go outside I think - it's going to be decorated and live in an upstairs window.

Cerrertonia Nov 2024 9:44pm, 28 Nov 2024 22,373 posts	0 Cerrertonia I followed very detailed instructions. If I made another one, it would definitely turn out better. The good thing with willow shapes is you can always just bend it some more or pull the piece out and try again. It's not like some of the other things people post on here where you really have to be quite careful and accurate.
