Brambly Hedge characters

My youngest daughter asked me to knit her the Mother mouse from Brambly Hedge. The mouses' name is Poppy Eyebright and I started her on Feb 14th...



Even though it wasn't requested, I am now working on her Husband, Dusty.

I've already knitted all the pieces for their 3 children, but am going to wait until 'daddy' is finished before putting life to the babies. :)

It's Here!!

My 'Irrestible Gifts to Knit' by Alan Dart is here!!!

OMG, that was super fast! I thought for sure it'd be weeks and weeks before I got it.
Now I have 4 more things to add to my knitting adgenda (Easter Eggs - mama hen and 2 chicks / Lorelei mermaid / barnacle bill the pirate / harry hedgehog)

lol

I can't wait until my 7 SK magazines come in that I bought off ebay. They'll probably take a month though... :(

Alan Dart and Simply Knitting

Call me crazy, but I'm in a collection mood for knitting toy patterns. And the creations I collecting are "Alan Dart"

I purchased his book "Irrestible Knits to Gift" and a one year subscription to "Simply Knitting" from the UK in GBP (double the amount of the Canadian dollar). But I said to my husband, I really want them.... and he said, 'so, buy them!'... hehehe... god I love that guy! hehehe


I've also been on ebay. And purchased a lot of 4 back issues of SK magazines from one seller, and a lot of 7 back issues of SK magazines from another seller! hehehe! (again, there from the UK, but considering the price is $17.99 plus tax EACH here in the world's biggest bookstore, I made a great deal!!! It works out to be about $8.80 per magazine (including the shipping!) hehehe


But, I'm going to stop now... I promise! Cross my heart!

ok, gotta go, and check ebay for some back issues.... see you later!
(just joking, I think) lol!

Another Hedgehog

Well, I think I mentioned that my eldest daughter came over for my youngest daughters birthday, and confiscated the knitted toys I had just done. Since the hedgehogs had already been taken by my son, I thought it only fair to redo them.

So, here is the baby hedgehog (#2).



Tomorrow, I'm hoping it'll be hot and sunny and I'll be spending the afternoon at the pool with my 2 younger kids. I'll work on mama hedgehog then. :)
