And if you eat quickly you will put on less weight 🤣.

Here s/he is, just need to sew up and add eyes, mouth and stethoscope.
For the benefit of any children suffering ‘gingerist’ taunts, I always give one of my profs. red/ginger hair.

What are you making this time Witzend a knitted doctor?
It sounds intriguing. Who will be the lucky recipient?

It’s part of a set of ‘professionals’ hand puppets for Knit for Nowt - they go to children’s therapists.
A prof. in a suit, doctor, nurse, teacher, social worker, police officer, judge.
They are a bit of a fiddle, but very much needed. And in any case, infinitely preferable to doing housework!! That’s my excuse, anyway….

That’s so funny Witzend. We were coming home yesterday and watching the fuel gauge. There was enough electric charge for 6 miles and we had 6.5 to go. So heating was turned off, OH drove sensibly for a change and we got home just before it flipped over to petrol.

Love this! Thought I was the only one! The driving faster in case the petrol ran out was me!

It’s a bit of a letdown when you finish a really good book, isn’t it ?

That reminds me of slowing down when reading a good book, as I don't want it to finish.

I was reminded last night of once feeling I had to drive a bit faster to get there before the petrol ran out….

Was knitting the last bit of my hand puppet ‘doctor’ - front of the ‘scrubs’ tunic - would have been a complete PITA if I had to order more, and then found it was from a slightly different dye lot.

But finished with a couple of yards to go, phew!
