I have my little helper here today and his Mum is busy wet felting in my kitchen....
It just takes time and peace and quiet.
So we leave her to it and Ben gets to have fun with Nanny and Grandad.
He has used his magic painting dinosaur book, played with Grandad's model railway, played diggers and dumpers on my coffee table "building site" and is now enjoying 5 minutes of Thomas the Tank Engine on tv.
It's a nice life - I don't know who enjoys it most... Ben or Grandad. Happy days!
Below are the two little shrugs I knitted recently. One tiny one for a new born and one large one for a one year old. I love this little pattern.
See you next week!

Happy New Year - may 2018 be a cracker for you and yours! I think it's lovely that you get to see Ben all the time, what wonderful memories you're building up with him. That little cardi pattern is the thing I knit the most, I'm so grateful to you for sending it to me. The yarn in the bigger version is very funky, love it!

Happy New Year Jo. What a lovely knitting pattern - I see why you like it so much - it produces such a wonderful little garment. Well done Grandad!! Enjoy - they don't stay young long... my gorgeous five grandies are now aged from 16 down to 11! Hardly seems any time since I held them at a day old!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Jo, Happy New Year, thanks for the visit. LOVE the cardigans, they are both gorgeous. Love that your Daughter is felting in your kitchen. I suspect that Grandad is the one having the most fun here.. Clairex #26
ReplyDeleteJust clicked the link to Tilly Tea Dance. OMG her work is amazing!! Cx
ReplyDeleteVery late, in fact I expect Maxine’s wet felting is good and dry now! lovely colours she’s using. You must be very proud to see her advancing and succeeding with her wonderful talent. Love the list of things that Ben has been up to, it’s really quite exhausting! Happy happy New Year Jo, hope it cont8nues to fill you with joy and family. Xx
