Looking back #2: snowmen

From the aforementioned knitting group at the library, a number of snowmen took shape during breaks in the staff room. The pattern is Mr. Flurry, (other Ravelry interpretations are here) and he was adorned in many different colors by group members. One was even made with green yarn as the body and sported a Santa hat and scarf. I wish I had gotten a picture of the Grinch snowman!

These first guys are dressed for Clemson football and are now living with my 3 grandsons in Columbia. They are knit with Berroco Comfort Kidz Orange #9731 and Purple #9722. The colors did not photograph well indoors. The weather was awfully bleak before Christmas.

This snowman is sporting his house colors for Gryffindor and is living at Hogwarts in Mississippi with my other grandson. Dark Horse Yarns Fantasy #26 dark yellow and  #32 cranberry were used for his hat and scarf.

Simply Soft white #9701 was used for the basic snowman. This one has not  received his outfit yet,

but he was in his element on Christmas Day- our last white Christmas was in 1963!
