My favourite part of making toys is choosing fabrics. I spent a lot of Saturday doing this until my room was full of piles. There always seems to be piles of aqua and red and pink and orange. I even managed a little cutting and sewing on Sunday.

Progress
It is amazing how much progress you make with five minutes here and there of spinning. Much more than with five minutes of knitting. This is superwash roving from Sakina Needles in Bioluminescence. It is spinning like a dream.

I bang on about this all the time, mostly on your blog but, if I had the knitting gene I would love to be knitting up some of that! You see I dream of knitting, here in our little sitting room in front of the fire...Please someone, make me understand casting on! I can do the basic knitting bit but I cannot cast on. Oh dear.
ReplyDeleteAnd your animals, as always, are gorgeous.
Such cute toys! I really like the giraffe. Lovely choice of fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, forgot to say, I tagged you on my blog. Looking foward to seeing your picture!
ReplyDeleteI do the same...playing and matching fabrics for projects until I'm in a complete mess! Just the way I work. Cute elephant but I'm very partial to the giraffe...my very favorite animal.
ReplyDeleteWow another wonderful talent you have. The yarn looks beautiful. I love that little giraffe, he is so cute. The elephant looks super in the red too.

ReplyDeleteI have seen your lovely work around the traps, in magazines, online, and so on.I always think, "Oh, excellent, well done", when I see it. You're doing great, I am inspired (but slack, I feel).
