    @CAFCGirl, how awful for you! I am in the process or changing my email account as it has been found on the dark web. I have also had a credit card cloned - I think it was done at a petrol station. It feels horrible. Hugs for you. 

    Mrs O, I am making a Toft Simon the Sheep at the moment. My first ever crochet project. My friend has signed up to their quarterly magazine, which is full of designs - knitting and crochet. I like the beanie and a jumper. I can only but dream. I will get there (or pay my friend to make it fit me!)

    Still no spends / clothing bought / no coupons spent. 
    (I still have some chocolate left).
    My mother has several of the TOFT beanies made and ready to sell. She's an obsessive creature love her. If you would like me to get her to send me pictures prices etc please shoot me an inbox and I would be glad to pass on the 
    Mrs O, please do send me some photos and prices.  This is the beanie that I saw in the book.
    I generally go for muted colours like greys, blacks and blues. 

    Ps.  (I do have the pattern for it - if anyone is interested. I only photographed this one pattern - didn't feel right to do anymore - will buy other patterns😁)

    This was my first Toft creation. I think my most recent (a gargoyle) is on last years thread. I also did a pink stegosaurus for a friend’s daughter (her favourite dino and colour). 
    I hope my sheep comes out as good as your bunny.
