I've been knitting.....
« on: February 12, 2012, 15:41:46 »
I stayed at my son's last week and was kept busy knitting clothes for little Eva's favourite toys. 

Maurice Mouse and his little sister Molly are now fully kitted out and I also knit a hot-water bottle cover. 

The weather was so bad I didn't go out of the house all week and I'm not able to sit and do nothing.

Ha Ha, well done!

I love Maurice's waistcoat - do they come in bigger sizes?!.. ;D

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

How lovely.  I remember knitting a waterbottle cover at school.  It was done in a square pattern and took me ages.  I was rather fed up because the boys were playing cricket.

Well  done.

I know thew feeling of not being able to sit and no nothing. I am currently knitting baby clothes. I had dozens of balls of baby wool when we moved back here so we used it as packing material found fragile things and finally decided to use it up.

I love your toys.
