A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.
I have filed that pattern on my computer....By the time I get around to knitting up my scraps ( I never throw anything away) I will have great grandchildren.
Oh,these are so nice. I didn't realize which pattern it was, since I know it under a different name. I made a whole bunch of these and donated them to ICROSS Canada, for distribution to African children in an AIDS clinic. And turned on a few friends to make them, too, since even a pretty beginning knitter can do these,and they look so cool!
The guy at ICROSS uses them as packing in the equipment crates he takes with him on the African trips, medical stuff for the clinics, and this was a great idea, instead of plastic peanuts, to give something that would be presents for the little patients.
He posted pictures of happy little kids clutching their dolls! they're just the right size to fit into a hand. thanks so much for reminding me of this great idea.
Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
