Bind off securely and hold tight so that it doesn't flutter away. Now make another one to match so that the angel, or bird doesn't get stuck flying in circles.

I am really looking forward to making lots of pairs and hanging them on the Christmas tree maybe on little coat hangers. Angels need somewhere special to hang their spares.

Or even attach them to an angel bunny, or a bird. Or make a ginormous pair and wear them yourself.

Good luck and please leave any questions in the message section.

Lots of love,
