Back Home and bit Blue

Just got back from two weeks in Italy and now feeling a little blue. We had a great time but as they say all good things come to an end sometime.At least the weathers not too bad so that's some thing. Whilst I was away I knitted a hippo so check on later posts.

Been Busy Knitting

 Having knitted sheep, donkey, horse, cow, piggy and a goat, I thought it was time to go for something slightly wild and what better than an Elephant. Well here is Tuhlula. I think she's is fab and I think other wild beasts might be on the way.  

Don't you just love the tusks 

Another Critter

Well the madness continues. Here is Lilly the lamb cute isn't  she?  

Douglas is done

Well meet the next knitted critter. This is Douglas the cute little horse.

I am slowly knitting myself a whole farm of animals. I have now bought two more of Sarah Keen's knitting books. I've now bought wild animals and pets so we'll see what else I can knit. Once I have a who,e load of critters knitted I then have to find a place to sell them, well that's if I can bare to part with them.

Meet Delilah the Donkey

The Donkey is now finished. I think she is so cute. I am particularly pleased with the mane, which was a bit tricky to knit as I had never done loop stitch before. The internet and Youtube came in very helpful.

Cowslip a new addition to the farmyard folk

Just thought everyone might like to see 'Cowlip' my latest knitting project, from the Sarah Keen's Knitted Farmyard Animals. 

I have a goat and donkey I'm knitting at the moment. I will soon have a whole farmyard of animals. I think I will also have to purchase her other book on wild animals. 

Easter Biscuits

Today I made a whole load of Easter biscuits using the same recipe I had used to make Valentine biscuits. If you want to try making these the recipe is on my earlier blog post in February this year.

I used some lovely little cutters my daughter bought me,including eggs, chicks and bunnies. I am really pleased with how they turned out. Apparently they taste good too, my hubby just had to sample them. Ha Ha Ha.
