meet Bob!
A happy new year to you all!
Thank you for visiting my blog lovely people...your comments and visits mean the world to me :)
This winter I've become slightly obsessed with knitting! I get into it every winter, but this year it's been particularly exciting as I have managed to knit my very first toy elephant, hooray! (Thank you Harriet for the brilliant book, "Knitted wild animals" by Sarah Keen!) My boyfriend has named him Bob. He's about 30cm tall - it's nice to make something you can actually hold, sit in your lap and cuddle!
Here he is hanging out with his felt toy cousins.
My boyfriend caught me taking photographs of them in my studio and asked "Is this what you do all day when I'm at work?" ...mm, yeah pretty much.
