I've got one more piece to finish (a horn that needs sewing up) and then it will be time for the goat-ening. Be prepared for many pictures of a crochet goat.

(In case you're not aware, I'm making one of these youtube.com/watch?v=CC_NDwdzww but in crochet form. I'm not intended for it to be burned, or destroyed by jackdaws, as seems to be the case for this year's model.)

If you hear any mad giggling coming from a Wales-ish direction, it's probably me having a bit of a Frankenstein moment as I sew the thing up.

Of course, me being me, I didn't check every piece before I started sewing, so I only realised that I'd used the head for the tail after I'd undone several rounds and attached it firmly to the body. I'm now making a new head.

This sums me up very well - I have good attention to detail, until I don't.

The goat now has a head, neck, tail and four legs all in the right places. I need to figure out how to fix the horns on so they don't flop all over the place.

@sheepnik I’m really looking forward to seeing the final goat.

@sheepnik that should be finished goat…I nearly said final result & got in a muddle!

@sheepnik Flexible foam hair curlers with the wire in the centre?

@BashStKid I've got some picture hanging wire in them at the moment. There's not much space in the centre, so it can't be anything too thick.

@sheepnik I'm so looking forward to seeing this
