@x_raphael_xx your fox is beautiful.  Well done on sticking at it, it is so much work.

@sammy_kaye18 the coat hanger is great,  another craft I havent tried. 

@Soontobeoap the cards are stunning. Again, another craft I havent tried. I will take a look at the Xmas Dec's on offer later in the year, once I have a few more finished items under my belt . Your friends WIP tablecloth at 62 years certainly beats mine of 30 - 40 years....makes me feel better

4 more completed today. Had these left over for about 4 years so its good to get them done! Need to get sewing machine out to finish dress for 2 week old baby before she gets to big. Would love to press on with sewing machine tasks after that but determined to complete christmas cards this week!! Infection is hopefully getting a bit better with the antibiotics so I wont have the luxury of sitting around much longer.!🤣

Hi, it's a horrible day and the rain is pouring down so the perfect day to stay home and knit. I've finished the jumper for dgs and sewn it up this morning. Although the wool is 100% acrylic it feels beautiful. I've never been keen knitting with 100% acrylic - memories of years ago when acrylic didn't wash well. Hoping this has improved - I'll find out soon as this jumper will be an Easter gift.
This afternoon I have started a hat to put by for Christmas. This will keep me going till I decide on my next big project.

@plumduff55 I love your knitting. It is so neat. What a great idea to do away with the rib and have a great pattern instead. I think dgs is a very lucky boy. 🙂

Love the cards + Jumper and the great fox.
Up to 10 bunny bags made now.

@Florenceem I love them! They are so cute. Have you filled them? My Grandchildren would absolutely love one. You are clever.

Soontobeoap - I realised that I had a stash of chocolate oranges that are in date until April so I put a little bit of tissue paper in each corner and added  one of the chocs. I have more chocolate oranges so more bunnies will be made. When I bought the chocolate oranges - they were 99p - see they are £1.50 now. I am going to ask £3 for a bunny bag - all money goes to SA.
