If Gdcs were a bit younger, and I wasn’t busy with badly needed items for Knit for Nowt, I could certainly be tempted!

Love to see your knitting projects. I just finished crocheting Van Gogh for my daughter's friend.

That’s brilliant, NanM!
Alas I never did learn to crochet. I inherited my mother’s crochet hooks, though, as well as her knitting needles - at least the hooks come in handy for picking up the odd dropped stitch!

Thank you Witzend. I learned to crochet about eleven years ago from YouTube videos. I learned to knit in school and one day l hope to knit a pair of socks. My Mother used to help with turning the heel. Think l have a mental block about them from my school days grin

I love the puzzled look on the father bear!

I love it!

But the DGCs are too old for that (I think).

I'm struggling with the latest crochet project, might have to go back to knitting.

Yes, if I’d seen it a few years ago….
Youngest Gdc will soon be leaving the lovely nursery/pre-school where the two elder also went, to start reception in September. It struck me that this would be a really lovely thank-you present to give them, but it’d take ages, and I’m busy with items that are badly needed elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll even get around to the usual Christmas raffle Nativity Set this year!

Ooh, don't Witzend 😁
Only seven months to go!

I must have made half a dozen over the years, Callistemon21 - one for the Gdcs, others for their schools or 🎄raffles - I won’t be sorry to give it a miss this time!
