After my mammoth knitathon before Christmas (massive Advent calendar and Nativity set) I’m at a bit of a loss now. Can’t knit for Gdcs - the other granny is much better at jumpers etc. than me, and makes a lot for them.
I’m no good at fancy or complicated patterns, and neither dh nor I need jumpers.
I’ve made a number of dementia twiddle muffs in the past, but a bit fed up with them now.
The other day I made these 50 cm. cushions for a dd, for 2 hard chairs - as she said herself, current cushions were very cheap and now bordering on manky.
I used leftover curtain material I’ve had for ages - but it still only took a day!
I’m even thinking of another Advent calendar, but since I have only one lot of Gdcs, where to bestow it? Or another Nativity set (it’d be the 3rd) - I suppose I could bestow that somewhere.
I love a lot of the Jean Greenhowe knitted toys, but dd’s house is already overflowing with toys/soft toys, I really can’t lumber her with any more.
Shall wander down to John Lewis later and have a good browse at patterns, looking for inspiration for something that won’t be a waste of time and effort.
Any brilliant ideas, O Crafty Ones?
That's an idea, Witzend. DGD still likes playing cafes, however,she decided to be a bad-tempered waitress at the weekend, grumbling at us for being choosy customers, telling us that what we wanted was off the menu then telling us not to come back to her cafe again 
I knitted a couple of cupcakes once from a pattern in a library book. You knit a little cherry for the top. I gave one to a yoga teacher at the end of term last year as a calorie free cake. She was tickled pink as they say.!!
Callistemon … maybe you could knit her some 'pretend' money to sweeten her temper a little 
?
She sounds perfect BTW!
Your post made me laugh on two counts, the antics of your gd, and then I thought of that sketch by Victoria Wood where Julie Walters plays the old waitress. Haha so funny!
