Two weeks ago I had a request from Olly to knit him a Christmas jumper(sweater)!!!! At the rate I work it was never going to happen so I offered to embellish a bought one for him. Christmas sweaters are the latest rage and I shall be taking commissions in readiness for next year. Any takers? Yes that carrot is protruding and I think it is going to have to be re sewn a few times. I may also have to visit him in jail when he gets arrested for indecency. It has caused such merriment. Practice crochet snowflakes came in handy too along with a tie from a boxful that I have been hoarding. Hexagons for eyes. Well, it just wouldn't be right to have a post with no hexagons would it?
Just leaves me to say wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Have fun.
Love Shirley.x
It's totally brilliant, Shirley! Fun and unique all rolled into one.
ReplyDeleteLove, peace and joy to you and your loved ones... and hexagons too :-)
