Santa's smile surgery actually took place several weeks ago, but it was not as successful as I had hoped. So what does the perfect smile look like anyway?
The first stage of the surgery involved performing a modified kitchener stitch to join the stitches where the red intarsia-ed stitches had been. Of course, the original beard yarn was no longer in the stash, so the next-next-next best match was used.
The second (and final) stage was using the duplicate stitch to give life to Santa's laugh.
Why is he smiling when it is apparent he has a horrible cold in his big swollen red nose?
