Another sparkly deer for Terri! He turned out so cute!!

It’s easy to understand why this designer is so highly regarded, this is probably the best pattern I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s quite complex but the directions are so detailed - particularly for the assembling - that there is never any doubt how to proceed. The close-up photos from several angles are also a great help.

Mods

• holding Glitter & Holst together,
• knitting everything in the round,
• using lifted decreases instead of kfb (both left- and right-leaning on the ears and tail),
• adding some colourwork to the body & legs,
• didn’t bother reinforcing the legs & neck,
• put a couple of heavy glass beads at the bottom of each leg to make him less wobbly.
